Balanced and Blueprinted

Has anyone done a fully balanced and blueprinted RedTop or BlueTop with either their own cams or the BlueTop cams?
Specifically dynoed in a Dynojet dyno or any other.
Just wondering if 120whp are possible in either FWD or RWD.
Thanks,
Efrain

120whp on strictly just an ALL STOCK 4age? not even balanced and blue
printed will you get 120whp.
here's what i put down:
-small port 16v head
-complete ST 20v block
-261 colt cams (at 0 degrees in/ex)
-.8 trd head gasket
-9lb flywheel
-nst pulley set
-edis waste spark for fire (programmable timing via megajolt lite jr)
-dual sidedraught mikuni 44phh carbs w/ ported intake mani and light porting at intake ports
-open stacks
-obx ss headers (replica of TRD headers)
i think that was about it.

Thanks Doc:
A few things just to spice this a little:
- Dynojet dyno should read a bit higher than a Dynodynamics
- I have those exact cams but have not installed them yet
- 20v CR = ~11.5:1
I am considering runing in SCCA IT-A car and would like to know the true real legal potencial for both the BlueTop and RedTop. In order to be competitive most Hondas are putting down 121whp (140hp @ the flywheel)

i'm not sure what you mean by "true real
legal" potential. i've got people telling me that bigger inlet is better than small for over all power. i lean more towards the smallport due to the natural venturi affect that occurs. maybe in a boosted environment large ports would be ideal but in an NA application, keeping trq in the low/mid ranges is advantageous. smallports still make power as well. the set of tri-flows that NST has finished testing will also be a welcome power "boost" for NA enthusiasts as well as gze fans.
of course w/ fwd cars, there's less hp loss through the power train. a good advantage to have over them would be improved turn in. corner time is where you can gain those additional fraction of a second. good suspension tuning and usable power in cornering exits (as well as practice and better skill) will win you your class(es).
sorry if i didn't help any in regards to your initial question.
