I had a boy that use to have the same setup, good motor, just couldn't keep up so I sold him our old frankenstein

 

Ls/Vtec make great torque but i've seen more of them blow up then I care to remember. Guess people seem to forget it was never ment to be reved that high on stock internals

 

I've blown my fair share myself. We blow up motors like they are nothing for some reason. We get greedy, we are now just rebuilding our b16b, cause I decided I wanted to see if it could handle 12K. Needless to say it didn't :rofl:

 

B16B can handle it on some killer internals but I dunno if you will be able to make power on that engine passed 10k or so.

 

We will on the rebuild, the motor can handle on it, we've basically raided the full spoon parts bin. I've helped throw some motors together that still make power above 10K. While not a lot, it's definately fun to do, the scream that comes out of those motors at 10K+
