for some perspective:

a B18C7 with Toda B cams and 4-2-1 header + Mugen intake plus full dyno tune made 120kW...

and has trouble keeping up with a worked B20VTEC that made 120kW on the same dyno.
Imaginary Toda Watts? I thought they were one of the more reliable groups with regards to reported power outputs? Jansen's car on Toda B's put out around 135kw+ I understand which I was I'd expect over stock for a 'mild' cam? Weird .. ?

I am taking in everything you are saying, just thinking through multiple scenarious and can't get my head around your experiences / recommendations.. If I'm only going to achieve another 9kw on stock bottom end from a built / ported head, then I'll bin the idea now. It sounds like it'd be more beneficial getting a set of ITB's and running them off the stock motor.

This is getting hard over the forum, I think I can more easily explan myself over the phone if someone wouldn't mind lending me their ear and a bit of time tonight / one night? Probably sort out all my questions / issues quicker.

Also, a comment was said that flow is more important than compression, can you elaborate for my circumstances? Is it a catch 22, i.e. No point having high compression without good flow, and no point having high flow without high compression? (which would make sense to a degree).

thanks.
