yea he's right, a bit of that 170 horsepower is not gonna make it to the wheels, no machine is perfect. plus your car has aged and what-not. i would estimate that your GS-R has 140-155 HP. Not trying to put u down or anything but i dont u to be dissapointed if u take her to get DYNOed. if u really want a power gain u R gonna want to Turbo or Supercharge it.

I understand the loss of power due to the drivetrain. Staying n/a is my goal. I would like to have a realiable powerfl engine capable of running @ 9000Rpms. I would like to have about 220hp @ the flywheel. (NOT at the wheels) I hear the skunk2 Stage2 cams are great. Has anyone have any personal reviews about them. I am looking at iether them or the Crower stage2 cams. Along with the correct valve springs and retainers. I am also thinking about an intake manifold and throttle body, Any suggestions?

After driving around in a 1992 92hp honda civic VX getting a b18c swap was fantasic, not only was it way faster, but my AC blows colder now that the new engine spins at a higher rpm while driving down the freeway @ the samespeed.

My list of mod goes as this

JDM b18c swap
Cold air intake
DC sports 4-1 header
high flow cat
Apex N1 exhaust
Fluidyne radiator

What should I look into next? Staying N/A
