my friend joe just finished a high compression ka build. everything has been shaved to minimum, 10.5:1cpr pistons, port and polish, and that thing pulls so hard(that was with no tune, he has sr injectors in the mail and a tune coming). it should be a great engine for autox and drifting.

so excited to see this up and running! Its going to sound so good!

I think one of the biggest advantages you will have will be the fact that you are addressing tuning and not just running a reflashed ECU or an SAFC. You will be able to milk the true potential of all the goodies you have.:thumbsup
