This motor has potential. In a serious build (aggressive cams, head work, bolt ons, etc...) and some good tuning, I can see this engine hitting 210-220 hp without too much difficulty. Couple that with its good geometry (less stress on your engine internals- reliability!), and this would far and away be my choice over an LS/VTEC. It does have its weak points, but I believe that with an experienced engine builder by your side, they shouldn't present a problem at all, and are nowhere near as big an obstacle as a bad rod ratio is.

If I were starting from scratch, trying to decide what to build, this would be it. Cheaper price tag, better geometry, superior reliability, and more potential. So, Mr. Hondaman, what's it gonna be?
