And is it safe to assume that the K series motors put out more power than the B? Also either way im probably looking 6-8 kfor installation correct? (in reply to D17Punk) Post #: 3

The K is the king of our honda motors tho, and its 2nd to none. _____________________________ (in reply to D17Punk) Post #: 4
