The Japan built models are the most desirable for those in the know. With a Honda J-Spec, or built in Japan, it is a coveted item. Boy how things changed since I was a young man. Stuff built in Japan was junk kinda like the items we see built in China now. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to 01 vtec nc) Post #: 16

I was more referring to the potential rise in part costs for a true import car, but even if that were the case, I think I would still rather have a J-Spec car than one built here. _____________________________ 2001 Accord EX 3.0 VTEC (My new baby) 1987 Camaro IROC-Z28 5.0 TPI (Currently for sale $3500) (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 17

I never saw a dyno on that car, but I''m pretty sure that he had about 375-380 without the juice.  It was a nice street build kit.  IDK the compression, but the stroking definately brought the torque lower in the rpm range, so maybe the HP #''s did stay lower than I think.  I rate cars on torque since HP can become meaningless when compairing cars.  Again, no dyno, but 400 ft. lbs. wouldn''t have surprised me ..... no NOS.  That thing walked away on a Stingray it''s first week on the road without the spray hooked up. _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to 01 vtec nc) Post #: 20

Depending on the year and size, plus if you stroked it out to like a 383 or something like that; 400 ft. lbs. of torque would be nothing for that engine. My 87 had 325 ft. lbs. and it was almost stock. My buddy has a built 98 Camaro, supercharged LS1 with all sorts of other crazy stuff done to it. He just got it dyno''ed: 535 rwhp 580 ft. lbs. of torque running on 8 lbs, no juice. Blows my mind... _____________________________ 2001 Accord EX 3.0 VTEC (My new baby) 1987 Camaro IROC-Z28 5.0 TPI (Currently for sale $3500) (in reply to falkore24) Post #: 21
