I could tell you if it was a built K20A2 in that car, with tires it would run low 12's all day long. I have seen some all motor K20 builds in the low 300whp range with about the same torque. And in a gutted hatch that weighs ~2400lbs... that would be a very quick combo.
That being said, most guys on the streets with swapped stuff do NOT slick their cars since they mainly break axles, but if you get one that knows how to drive, you will be in for a wild goose chase cause at about 90+ it will start pulling hard.
FWIW- I have had a K20 Turbo EG hatch that put down 480whp on 91 and have had a 500whp ws6 all motor, I am not biased against either but hooking up in the civic was like... me hooking up with Alessandra.... nottttt likely.
Goodluck on the race, get to it an let us know if he was just a bench racer or really had a built K swapped hatch.

And if he is like any of the ricers that I've raced, he'll just squeel the tires off the line and give up before it starts getting good.

Honestly im gonna say be careful with this civic lol. K20s are no joke even all motor. I've seen crx with a gsr motor with head and vtec cams n cut out hit the high 11s mark lmao. If he doesn't win im sure it will be very very close if he's a good driver. Don't get to cocky is all im saying

I'll be cautious. I know this guy from a while back and we're just betting a 12 pack of beer lol. At the very least it'll be a learning experience, but I doubt his car is what y'all are imagining in your head. We'll find out tho.
Oh and he started responding. He said he's gonna show up in slicks. I asked if he thought his axles were ok with that lol. Just to get him scared. If he was smart, he'd ask about my factory 10 bolt. lol.

Jason's clutches have been track tested by alot of us now and have been taken to the trak after being installed the same day. Diamond clutches are the ****! They will take any clutch dump you can throw at them and yes, we are on slicks. I have the stage 3 setup as do many of my friends and I can say that we beat on them daily and they don't skip a beat.
Diamond ftmfw!

Jason is hands down the best guy I've dealt with in the f-bod community. I'm really hoping his clutch will hold up like all y'all are saying. I got a stage 2. He even had my back before I had chance to install the clutch. (long story)
When I called him looking for a throw out bearing, he won me over with his clutches vs. Centerforce. It was only a 30hp difference, but he was way more friendly and informative than the sales at centerforce. Not to mention his shop is just a hop, skip and a jump from where I live.
dgcustomz: You should sell me back my old SS hood for like $20 lol. I'm really tired of the old boring Z/28 hood. You still got that thing?

If you still got my number, give me a call when you're there. I'd like to come see it. I work like 3 miles away. I'm off at 5pm m-f. And I'd like to buy some useless parts off you for my gf's firebird.
