    ACL's are actually cheaper than OEM honda bearings. But does it really matter if you save a few bucks on such a vital part of the engine?

    Where did you see that?

    I'm not saying Kamikaze is good but in general, DC isn't hard to beat, all you have to do is tune the header for your motor... DC is the basic bolt on header it needs to meet carb requirements and be able to hook up to the stock exhaust system.
    They have bolt on stepped header designs that will outperform DC in a portion of the powerband, but different headers make more power in different rpm ranges.

    But like I was saying if you move away from street legal and more towards a custom set you'll gain more hp then either.

    Also you should compare the torque #'s. There should be a good balace between both. I'd rather gain 5hp and 10 ftlbs of tq then 10hp and 5 ftlbs of tq.
