well let me say this if you look at some older post we all did get along until a new wave of people started coming in and starting it.....I have been a engine builder for over 25 years...and some of these hp numbers alot claim is just laughable....as any have read my posts I don't give out hp number out of my cars unless a have a dyno number, people ask and maybe I'll give an est....so alot of the fight is people giving just bs number and want to fight about all you have to do is video tape your dyno session and that will shut up people ragging your number but fighting about hp numbers is just plain stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and so are 1/4 times same thing video tape it...gone are taken anyone's word for it on-line Admin38028.4123263889

[QUOTE=M-n-Ltunuing]

they think those are fast, cuz always when they see them its only out the hole that those cars jump in front of you. But many people don't know that these cars after shifting to 3 or 4 gear they loose power and then they catch speed slower than they would be in first or in second. Same like you would have to Eclipses one AWD and one front wheel drive turbo, run them out the whole the awd will take it dirty but run them on a 45mph roll on you will see the front wheel drive way ahead of the awd.

[/QUOTE]

AWD has approximately a 40% drivetrain loss. Hardly anyone thinks of that....ever.....

Yeah screw those imports for some reason they run cicles around my wickedV6 hopefully when I get my larger non functional hoodscoop and sidevents It will give me the more HP that I need. Im sure you can relate when I point out that technology is scary. I wish we could go back to the days where horsepower could be mesured by how many of them (horses) were pulling you along. I dread the day Ford decides to update there chasis to modern day technology too I dont know what I would do without all that body roll.

They wouldnt be able to catch me in my WickedV6 STANG.... Unless of course they had a 1986 Honda Civic 4 door Si SOHC 16 Valve Inline 4 with Altezza lights, a Terminator wing and Suzuki Kayamoto Fugiyama Honkydoree body kit and a Hundo shot of Nazz yo!.

Wow that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, too bad there is no such thing as an 86 Si, let alone one in a four door.

How do I know thats not a badge with a swapped engine? IT has absolutely no specs on it anywhere.


He's right on th CRX, it has an EW4, but last I checked there was no such thing as a D15a3, unless he has a D15a2 and mistyped it by one number.

Well last I checked as long as you had an Si, Si-R or a Type-R sticker thats all that matter. What motor you have in a Honda H22, ZC, D15, B16, B18 blah blah blah that BS is all secondary. How do you know my Wicked V6 actually has a 3.8 V6 and not the all mighty 70's Ford Donkey 4 banger?

Thanks for another great performance mod idea! That should also help even up my 80/20weight distributions too!
