Well I finally got my k20a3 dynoed over the weekend and here are the results.



This is a before after comparison from the stock k20a3 cams vs. k20a2 cams.

I went with the k20a3 exhaust rocker set-up, i think i'm herd about it being used other places, i think* this might be one of the first times results have been posted from a a3. The rest of the engine is stock internally.

Here are some pictures of the rocker set-up...





I've actually been running this set up for a little over a month now (~1100miles) and have had no problems at all.

other comparison (Green=k20z1,e85,race header, 76mm exhaust ect. Red=My vtec killer k20a3)



I'm very happy with how this has turned out.

damn, after all the work i did to do an a1 headswap on my a3 block with skunk2 stage II cams and I only hit 180 with a PRC intake manifold, 3in intake, dcrh, and small 2.25in exhaust. I should have just done something like this with the a1 head. Maybe I will try porting my a3 head and trying this. So explain this, did you do any swapping order of the exhaust side rockers? Or is it just plain a2 cams on the exhaust side.

u make less hp and tq below 4700rpm with this setup than your stock k20a3 that is why i use the k20a2 rocker arms modified for vtec so you run on the low cams till 4700 and then switch to the high cam to get a better powerband how ur idle do u have a vid
