d15b power

[b7CIVIC]

Ok here's the setup i'm thnking:
out w/ the d15b7, and in w/ the jdm d15b
aem cai
dc 4-2-1 header
2.5" exhaust
8lb. flywheel
exedy clutch
zex camshaft
and 10:5:1 pistons later

Wat do you think, horsepower to the wheel/ground, untuned?

Maybe 125ish to the wheels before the pistons, 130-135 after. Buddy of mine put down 127 with basically the same set up on a D16Z6, with a VAFC and a wideband, not the best to tune with, but it worked.

That is however just an 'ish, you may get a freak motor, or you may get a beat on motor.

yeah that will aslco factor in, i'm also thinking of porting polishing as well as a 3 angle valve job thinkin about ten more whp, wat do u think?

Just my opinion, but I don't think it is worth putting in pistons if you are not going to do some headwork. I would recommend the crower2 over the zex cam. Also look in the D-Series tech forum at the OEM piston chart. You may be able to use a set of oem pistons to reach your desired compression ratio. For a street car, I'd go ACT X-ACT 12lb over the 8lb. A 2.25" exhaust would be a better way to go. 2.5" is simply too big unless you plan on adding nitrous/turbo.
