I was more referring to the whole, "OMG, HE's RUNNING SOOOOO MUCH MORE BOOST!!!!". A few more lbs of boost from a M62 isn't going to make a huge difference. The biggest gain is going to be the tq increase down low, that's about it.
Get rid of the restrictions as you said, and he'll see bigger gains.
This thread has taken a hilarious turn though. Basically, we have a n/a K series honda that traps 98mph before a intake manifold upgrade. Not that the intake manifold upgrade made that much of a huge difference anyways. And we have a cobalt with modifications capable of trapping 105-107mph easily but yet neck and neck with a 99-100mph K series?
Somewhere there is a problem, OR someone is lying.

If anything the civic si, rsx-s, and evo are all overrated due to price. The difference between them is you get what u pay for in the evo, and the si/rsx-s you get an expensive car that doesnt have a turbo and is FWD. Screw that. I will take my low 13 sec stock evo. 12's with a tune, and a catback also sounds good to me.
Also, those motors sound nice in the vid.

Take the price diffrence, wich is about $10- $12,000 between RSX-S and Evo. drop that diffrence into an rsx and you'll beat an evo. what im tryin to say is that you paying all that money to get a mid 13sec car.
Im taking it that you seen the video of the Cobalt, Evo and I?
Yo rudy, i think you should take Steves advice on this one. you know youre going to HAVE to be fast after i finish my new setup.

I had a buddy of mine with an 08 Si did the Cobb tuner... he picked up 10-15whp out of it... not bad for something so simple.
I give lots of props to RSXs they can be ******* sick... although they need to be boosted to hang with me now. I still think they are ******* nice cars!

you fail to noticed that the K20a is the best NA motor ever built.
Take the price diffrence, wich is about $10- $12,000 between RSX-S and Evo. drop that diffrence into an rsx and you'll beat an evo. what im tryin to say is that you paying all that money to get a mid 13sec car.
Im taking it that you seen the video of the Cobalt, Evo and I?
Some of you guys didnt give props until I came on here and noted what I had. befor that I read that i was spraying... LoL!
