On intake manifolds. a member named Cory had one made for him that made more power across the board, especially in the higher RPMs. Word was mentioned about the length of the runners being a factor in increasing the velocities needed to improve flow. On the cam issue, it sucks that JWT is sitting on billets of VE cam blanks because there isn't a demand in the market large enough to justify production. They could build the optimal VE cams we want because of their SR20 roots but not enough of us are banging down their door to make it worth their time. The VE came too late for us here for vendors to R&D it's potential like the DE back in the day and even then Honda was raking in the profits and the support. If someone on the forums can get 225-230whp NA out of the VE anytime soon you will have the attention of everyone here and give the rest of us hope. Sorry for the long rant, just don't know if it can be done anymore.....

shoot franklin an email and he will make you up a set. Just cause they are not on the website doesn't mean he wont make them. Also with the u.s. vs kiwi exchange rate you should get quite a deal. you wont find anything near the price of franklins in the u.s. due to the saving from the exhange rate. I know cause i am deal with u.s. and kiwi currency.
tbh i dont think 225-230 whp from a 2l ve is the feat everyone makes it out to be.
realtime ecu
good intake
good headers
16ve pistons
20v/n1 cams, or possibly the new kelfords
e85 as a must and you should be close

damn that is a very short runner, looks to be about 6-6.5 inches including te bell mouth? Did you loose much down low? what about its effects on torque? Interested to see how it went
