Not sure on that man, we will find out and report back.. He said he is making around 320Whp right now. As you guys probably head, 4 1/2 - 5 lengths or so... We were still pulling pretty good too.

M6
AFR 205
224 cam
FAST 90/90
Kooks LTs/ORY/magnaflow
stock gears
water pump/underdrive/etc
No tune for the heads yet should pick up a good amount after that also.


O and Casey, he has a stock head.

I will bet he will have a lot more in it... Takes a lot to work on those little things for some reason, expensive to mod..?

I don't know why he didn't brake-boost, you wouldn't have gotten as big a jump then. Still would have won of course . Good kill.

He did on the first run but it wasn't a clean run (TA hit limiter on 1-2 shift and then missed 3rd (had flip flops on)) so we did it again but bare foot! We pulled almost the same but on each fucked up shift the civic would pull back about 1/2-3/4 of a car.

At 320whp it should be alot closer. Hondas can be "fast", but the idiots who mod them can never do it the right way.

You should have done one from a dig. Would have been murder then.

And alot of idiots cannot drive them, but i guess with any car with a decent amount of power the average person cannot drive...

Don't know why you say that? The OP car is right around the 450Rwhp mark. I think with 125+whp advantage and the fact that there is zero lag with the NA car, it was right where it should be.

Ahh... Not optimal but it should hurt too much. The only thing changed was the heads. It could definitely use a touch up but I doubt anything bad is going to happen.

The civic owner knew the outcome of that... Would have been a waste of time.

FWIW the civic owner isn't a ricer he actually gives credit where it is due and doesn't talk his car up like its something its not.. He was happy he hung that well from that mph roll.

Pretty sure I am going to run the civic in the next week or so on motor.. 30-120mph

I'm going to guess it is going to be about 6-8 lengths, anything can happen though. Have not decided if I'm running slicks or street tires.

Not anywhere close to what it should have been ... maybe a couple cars.. that civic is hit, or he can't drive or spun and needs tires..
