I like what I see MatT3T4 saying about building engines on your grocery getter. He thinks it is for suckers and I see the valid points he makes. Here is a quote from one of his posts on Hondavision -

Sup man, good to see you here.
Ok, now generally, 350hp is where you want to start watching your ass...big time. The B-series blocks are ****ing strong as hell. I totally believe that he made that power on the stock block.
You can make tons of power on your motor. Especially with the standalone. Make sure you have ample fuel and ignition, and tune your car, and you will be cool. With the built head, you will be even better off. I don't know about the Crower cams though, too many people lately have been blowing them apart...but I heard that was a bad batch...
Put it this way...You will be able to safely make MUCH MORE POWER than you can EVER use on the street. Don't even sweat that...

In other words, Clowny, I would spend my money on a stock B16A and Hondata. Tune it to run at least 10 psi on the street and 1 bar on the track. Matt has me convinced that you don't need to spend large wads of cash on an engine to go fast. Now, if you just had to stick with the d16 engine, yeah, you better build it.
