It all depends, how many stickers do you have on the car.
Also if you use spacers it gives you torque, but if you stack washers then you get whp.
Numbers are anywhere from 10-50 either whp or ft-lbs of torque.

Because its bait. Not only will you be exposing all your potential illegal modifications but you're also showing the rest of the world what you have, that includes the thieves, and how many people rip off swapped Hondas already? You're painting a target on yourself by doing that kinda ****.

And you'll get pulled over constantly, and you better hope EVERYTHING under the hood is properly secured.

As far as I know, driving with the hood off is illegal. May be wrong.
OP if you gonna go through with the popped hood, atleast install some hood pins for extra security+ 1bling.

Don't need hood pins.

As long as the hood still latched at the front properly and the bolts are properly tightened, it will be fine.

OP does not have a j swap. He created a thread not too long ago about boosting his d15 non vtec 70hp motor.

You're right...he did.

He probably just said he's got a j swap so everyone would stop ripping him for proping his hood.

Can never believe anyone anymore...If you're gonna lie about your car, don't contradict yourself in 2 different threads...haha.

And if you want to prop your hood, regardless of the reason, just do it. If you like it, who cares what anybody else thinks.
