Going to make a CRVTEC and want to boost up to 15 PSI
. What connecting rods and pistons would be good too use? JUN/Crower/Skunk2 to name a few look good. No guessing please. Also who does a good job resleaving and port and polish blocks.
I dont understand what you are saying. Do you mean a 350 HP car will loose to a 275 HP car? And what do you mean by350hp in a street car will most likely net you with losses to 275hp street cars, but it's your preference. Once you start making that much power on the street, you will spend most of your time playing catch up...

This guy is going to shave into the pistonsWhat can I do to avoid B16a valve clearance problems with OEM pistons? I don't know if the valve float problem can really be addressed no matter what pistons you use. If the springs can't control the valves they will always end up hitting something.
I did a test last night using clay to check the actual clearance between the bottom of the valve and the floor of the valve pocket, at 4 degrees intake cam advance (ITR cams), and there was 0.180 clearance.
it's just that the intake piston pockets are not big enough in diameter for the B16 size valve head to clear. A really easy solution would be to shave a larger radius in the pocket. That can be done fairly easily as the aluminum piston is soft enough that a sharp scribing tool could do it. That's what I plan to do. There is plenty of material in the piston crown to do it
