It would be in the 13's for sure. BlownxA had the Blitz S/C and a 25/30 shot, and he was running 14 flat.

congrats on the race man,
i just read this whole thread and i think its just strange how some of the people on here says that you can just put a few bolt-ons and it becomes a driver's race vs. an 06 si. however, (according to the N/A sections of THIS site) vs. an rsx ppl are saying you have to be f/i or upgrade the internals to compare. aren't the rsx somewhat equivalent to an 06 si? similar (not exact) motor, tranny, and weight. not calling BS or anything, but a few of you on this posted that stock for stock its a driver's race?? curious
oh, and sleepers ftw!

its just a gas saving / sport compact car that takes me from point A to point B

not really much point for us to have a lot of torque since we are in vtec about 97% of the time in a race

I don't claim to beat the car, I did however beat the driver.
I couldn't resist. I apologize

not sure how much gains were had from that, as I'm not into the whole VTEC crowd.

short ram being the weakest gain in intake form, maybe 2-3 whp
hondata img only replaces your old gasket between the header and the head
keeps the engine a few degrees cooler so, what is that like 1-2 whp i guess
you can't even feel the difference, its mostly just a piece of mind
