Good question. I think it was a small part of a bad engine (high-milleage and poor maintenance) as well as having some fun every time i drive her. She's far from babied, which includes several dozen drag sessions at the local strip. I've put myself 80'000kms on that motor. You can check all my info in my worklog for my theories on why it's so low, but with all my mods, I should be in the 170-180hp mark, but you can't expect a motor to be perfect, especially after 3 years of hard driving, she tend to see redline a few times a day

Basically, all my mods in my signature, with the exception of the bored-out TB, AFPR and tranny. Don't take my ZE as a base comparison, cause she's an exemption (that goes with my luck). Oh, and I have the curved-neck IM. Back when I did the swap, getting cams and IM's seperately was very hard to find, so I opted with the curved-neck Millenia KLZE with the KL01 cams.
Any number you'll see, eitheris the KLZE's rated power, or the advertised power output of a 2006 Civic, it's the power at the crank, basically the power from the engine itself. As the power gets transfered to the wheel, going through all other components, flywheel/clutch, transmission, axles, wheels and such, they all add resistance and loose efficiency to the power output, so the power output at the wheels (which is what a dyno measures) is always different and always lower than the power being made and measured at the engine itself.
