My Evo IX dyno session

^well you just stated 2 good reasons, 1. HK(dollar sign), no argument about the quality or outcome of their product, but when is the last time you doubled the cost of a car for a little bit of power?
2. It cost as much as the damn car, obvious reason not to do it.

But honestly can you find it for me, i would love to see it.
Compared to hondas, dsms seem to be really restricted by the head flow, if the cost of the HKS conversion head was close i would be surprised to not see more do it, but i guess at that cost a fully built head will flow more or just as much.

Its not the head/port design so much as the cams. Stock honda vtec cams are huge by dsm standards. We had a thread on this not long ago.

Yeah, my S2k VTEC lobes were huge.

Two good reasons for? I was just stating that someone had already accomplished: "i cant wait till someone figures how to put this on a DSM

And tons of people spend the cost of the car for a little more power. It all depends on the budget of who is playing, and how strongly they feel about what they want to do.

I just did a quick search for it, but no luck. I may have it in a magazine somewhere.

They are? DSM's still have one of the best heads out there for flow, just go look at the ports on an SRT-4 and you'll see what I mean. The V8 guys spends thousands to get aftermarket heads that are anywhere near as good as our stockers, obviously the 2V vs. 4V makes a huge part of that difference. VTEC only makes a larger cam seem smaller for low speed cruising, they need it because they never made any torque anyways.
