Default Which small block?

The OS 18TZ or Speed Tuned 12XZ Spec 2? would like to put this in a either a TC3 or RS4 Evo+. everyone says the tz is the the best small block, but the 12 doesn't look to shabby either.

Depends what your application is, the 12XZ is very fast and raceworthy, but the 18TZ is spewing out power all over the place, so to say.

18TZ truly has tremendous amounts of power...

What engine is in your Civic?

It was a Jackson racing supercharged B16, just like a go kart on steroids lol but I no longer have that car now I have an '05 civic sedan, not nearly as fun yet....planning on a supercharged K20

Well it looks as though I'll be getting the TZ and a NTC3.

If your just bashing around, you can't beat the 18TZ - not only is it powerful, it suits your needs perfectly. If you got the 12XZ, you'd probably think it's powerless. And the TZ is a lot cheaper as well
