sorry u got me with the holzman thing. i was under the impression that improving airflow efficiency would be a good thing. yes my goal is improving fuel economy. so sounds like porting is not best for mpg. that guys ex increased mpg more likely from the polishing since it reduced restriction on air flow.
I didn't say anything about changing runner length.I'll be using the stock VX intake manifold. and from that EX's results he got an extra 15-30miles on a full tank.damn wish i could find that article! maybe i can search honda-tuning. As for resale value LOL It's already been improved with the shiesty-earl-schieb paint job alone; not to mention all the upgrades i've done myself on it;suspension,motor,ect.
I plan on keeping this much longer, thats why i'm swapping the stock VX back in and selling the 130hp D15B sohc vtec i've had in it past 4yrs or so.
Another possible upgrade is with a Crane Hi-6 hi capacity ignition i used to have but traded for some work done on a Camry i used to own . That helped idle and smoothed combustion, dont recall how much i gained mpg from it tho. I think i spent $200 for that with msg cap from summit racing. Appreciate the feedback tho!
