the other day i remembered the s2000. On another thread (cant recall which) someone had mentioned that the boxer 4's wouldnt really be able to hit >200hp
(assuming ~2000cc). the s2k runs a 2.2 inline 4 with about 230 bhp?
My point: what would keep a boxer from performing like the vtec? i mean hey, if we can get more power (not that 200bhp isnt enough) id gladly take it

I'm sorry i've also been lurking here for a while and i need to clear up a few of your facts.
1. S2K's F20 and F22 is rated 240-250bhp
2. The work that went into getting that HP out of it makes aftermarket support cost an arm and a leg($1000 exhaust). And the baseline price insanely high.
3. vtec is not a motor(Civic boy?). Nearly every car maker has some sort of vale timing technology. And they are discussing valve tech in another thread.
