Well turbo kits typically include their own header+intake. If he put on a turbo kit and ran a little nitrous it would be one pretty quick xA!

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!

i don't think the SI nor my rsx is anywhere near a "high performance" vehicle
its just a gas saving / sport compact car that takes me from point A to point B

mine is alittle special, 8600 redline
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

Who needs 300hp when you've got AWD (JDM option) and about 1000lbs under the weight (stock vs. stock). Also, you don't need to beat someone for them to gain respect. All you have to do is keep up better than they expect you to. And just so you know, I beat a WRX (not sure about STi) on the freeway, and all I have for mods are,

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

That wasn't even a stock SI.

fujita short ram intake, hondata intake manifold gasket
not sure how much gains were had from that, as I'm not into the whole VTEC crowd.

yeah, not much from those
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
