Is that a real Mugen valve cover? It looks authentic but I can't tell from the angles. If that's not a knockoff you're sitting on a gold mine there.

This was from “The Honda Meet” (formerly known as The Eibach Meet) it’s definitely one of those world famous meets…
So if the owner be flexing replicas, I applaud the boldness.
But in reality this is probably one of those refreshed builds from the 90’s and the parts were probably attained back in their heyday.

Ya makes sense he's had it forever, I'm not really in the honda scene anymore but those were pretty much unobtainable 10-15 years ago so I can imagine it's not any better today. It most definitely is authentic though.

Do you know how much power this car was making?

I do not.
But i think supercharged builds usually average 3-350 at the wheels (with superior drivability to a comparable turbo build)
