Max speed, etc, is all dependant on your driving ability (1/4 mile) and how you tune the engine. The LS can be a very very powerful engine, well over 400 HP properly built. A CR-V can be quick and powerful too. Here's a post I made a few days ago, but it should help you see what it possible with a LS. For the record, the turbo'd CR-V civic in jacksonville is 297 HP and 12.7 or 12.9 seconds. A LS can be equally as powerfull. Built properly, you can even break this 300 hp barrier. Here is some info of a 500 HP LS. Robbie Potts in San Deigo has a 500 HP Turbo'd LS-VTec integra (he has a full interior, nothing stripped). He built it himself, including the turbo system and all. He did it over 3 years ago too, way before the masses had discovered the LS-Vtec and CR-VTec. It is still running. Thats a 500HP LS-VTec Turbo (B16A head, LS block) He did some very creative things. He built the Turbo manifold himself using a pulse width thoery based on firing order to further help spool his turbo (turbonetics turbo, 60-1 compressor with a stage 5 exhaust wheel and 78 a/r housing, spearco intercooler). He uses a Federal Mogul Speed Pro stand alone fuel computer and 1,000 cc injectors, a setup that was used by Lisa Kubo and Papadakis. Since you generally generate more power if the wastegate dumps straight into the atmosphere, but it's very loud. He did it anyway, but silenced it using a 4-stroke Yoshimura motorcycle exhaust. Of course, he also rebuilt the internals for massive boost, etc . You can hit 500 HP if you build the motor right and provide the proper fuel dilivery system and fuel managment unit. Make sure you close the deck. On a side note, Jason Whitfeild, owner of Rage performance in cali has a 725 HP turbo'd 96 H22 civic hatch. It's street legal. Remember, you can make both the CR-V and the LS extremely fast and very powerful. It's all in how you build it as a whole package. Make sure you plan it out properly and contuine doing research before you start.
