wth!!!!... h22 isnt a bitch to boost, and that question depends against which motor your comparing it too... just to let you know... the lower the compression... the easier to boost ( not always necessarily so, but in theory, thats how it goes) on a different note... unfortunately there are some major cons... especially if you are doing a swap... say bye bye to handling... cause you wont see the 50/50 weight distribution you are going to be looking for. ... but it will be hella fast


pros: big motor ( for honda), big displacement, probably the most torque compared to most other hondas out there.
cons: tranny ( definitley needs a 6th gear... 5th is too long... might even need a 7th IMO), heavy engine, relatively low compression ( for me)... i know there is some more... but i cant think
