Yeah, IPS did need some help unfortunately. I ordered K2's way back in the day and it took almost six months to receive. It definately is a shame because all his cams made serious power there was no denying it.

And somebody has been doing there homework. NA cams w/ larger exhaust housings, huge downpipes, and a great flowing head have shown some pretty big increases. I've talked w/ Geoff from FR and Jeff from Evans and theoretically even K20A cams will free some more power.

But I'm at the point now where, when is enough...enough?? I already surpassed triple the torque output of a stock motor and am shooting for way way more. I have to swap gearsets every couple weeks, gets expensive and time consuming.

I think after tuning/track times I'll be ready for a more practical project. Or a motor swap into a lighter chassis to at least be competitive w/ the car, cough cough CRX.
