Get a knowledgeable B16A mechanic to port and polish your head and you will see it cross 160 in D4

Guess u might as well keep them then, if that's the case. How does the car pull otherwise? IMO, once it not lazy on lower speeds, u ok. I barely carry mine up 2 160 tho, so the lack of top end (170 km/h +) isn't a big issue for me.
Put in a gearbox yes, wah ah go tell yuh
