After I logged out to start work, it occurred to me that I'd soon have everyone chiming in about the aftermarket support for Honda. I'm not saying any of you can't like Honda, I'm saying you'll never find me spending a single penny on anything by or for Honda, nor using any free Honda anything.
Nothing Honda can be built to 1200 HP, and while a 6.0L GM 400 RWHP LS2 V8 can do 35 MPG without deactivating cylinders, a Honda I4 can neither do a 70 MPG 200 FWHP 3.0L V6, nor a 70 MPG 200 FWHP I4, nor a 105 MPG 133 FWHP 2.0L I4 nor I3, thus no Honda is as efficient as the GM LS2, nor can be. Plus the GM was in one of those really low emissions classes despite the displacement and HP.
Admittedly IDK how my 2 current choices stack up, but getting the 4G63T to 70 MPG in this application with 400 RWHP and emissions-legal is no challenge, it just takes the right turbo, the right cat, the right gearing, and the right tune. The 'yota isn't even getting evaluated along these lines because I included it for the propane aspect.
That's why these 2 but NO Hondas for me.
