I take it all of you have never heard a sport bike run. My cousin's Gsxr1000 has a lope, his 600 did too. My buddy's R6 also had a small lope. Yes I know they are a sport bike... but its still a 4 cylinder.

I'll bet that car runs damn good for an NA 4 cylinder. I'm never a fan of anything that can't be driven on the street though.

RLZ Engineering (my brother's shop) had an all motor civic in the street class at NOPI back in 2005 that was running 11.0's@121 with some similiar cams Not to bad for a 112ci N/A engine! They really do sound kind of wicked in person!

So what cam size for an LSX motor does that set up compare too? Would it be like a solid roller set up or something like the Godzilla by Futral Motorsports?

i guess you can blow your money on them if you decide your honda just has too much low end torque

Civics don't need low end torque to be fast, just to be streetable.
