what would make the most power for the money... - Honda Prelude Forum

I am getting type s pistons, ported head stage 2 cams, ext next year and have heard that exhaust back pressure can really restrict high compression big cam engines. So Im asking everyone who knows somthing on this, what header should I get. I really would like to have the SMSP header, its just the money issue, plus, if I get that header then basically my hard earned 5Zigen Fireball would be useless, Cuase I would want to stay with the 2.5 in diameter all the way back.

What I trying to say is, do you guys think I should invest in this header for the setup Im going, is it worth the money, will I see more gains with the cams, with this header vs say a Greddy, or any other prototype?

28 looks and no reply, dang, at least people are interested!

4th or 5th gen?

If 4th I would go with greddy. 5th gen you could modify some to have the downpipe get over the crossmember I believe it is.

SMSP is pretty expensive

yeah SMSP is expensive, How much gain/ dyno numbers should I expect with the greddy. I have a 4g. I still have yet to ever see any numbers on greddy.

maybe I should wait for leptolude's header!
