Displacement definitely matters. What some people mean, but sometimes don't know how to say, is that the displacement does not always dictate power level or potential.

You mean for example a 2.0L s2000 being faster than a 4.6L mustang?

I keed.

Something like that

V8s ultimately have more potential for HP/tq than i4s...some i4s are just really cheap and easy to build to move faster than a v8 in a heavy car. A v8 in a rwd vehicle has a better chance than a wrong wheel drive with an i4...traction + tq = acceleration. A b/k series Honda motor is just cheap and easy to build comparatively, in a lighter platform. Nuff said?
Displacement = tq

My honda friends always said the best honda is one that stays at 400whp or less.

On street tires yes, also stock gears like breaking after 500+...on the street without slicks, 400 is a good place to be at. There's a lot that goes into it.

Im not trying to argue with you on that one because I get where you're coming from. But I have had friends who have built various I4's and to get the same output as mine and my friends fbodies gtos and vettes theyve had to spend alot more money. I suppose if you factor in the original purchase price of the car its cheaper. But hey. I will always say if you want to go fast for cheap go buy a early 70's nova and a big block. You'll run 10's for less than $6k.

Depends on your build, my original build cost me barely 4k...hookups not included. Really depends on where you get everything from, what you get and how much or how bad you **** up lol

Where the **** did adadouchbag go after that guy owned him?

ej1overspool

Eeh he just got a little mixed up, **** happens. He knows more than a lot of people i know around here and is pretty unbiased(very uncommon). But not everyone knows everything.

2SSARME

I do.

When will you learn my young padawan.....

ej1overspool

I forgot

2SSARME

It's okay. Through some intense training you'll get there.

ej1overspool

That is too much work, is rather sit on the beach or some ****.

Really? I'm surprised he doesn't work for Honda.

Drives a v8, I took at as he was defending another perspective.

No ****, i was wondering when he was going to pull 4 plug wires and toss on a 111tybillionMM turbo and tell us how fast it was.

Wonder what would happen if a Honda went up against a Mach1?

2SSARME

He has a v6.
