Granted, the H22 has 25 more HP and about 30 foot-pounds more of torque, but the Prelude weighs in at about 3,200lbs...even more if it's the SH...and the Si hatch weighs in at 2300lbs (GSR is at 2700-ITR at 2500).

25HP+30FT-LBS of TQ is not enough to make up for 900LBS.

Bottomline, get that engine checked, and your friend's skill re-evaluated.

Oh, BTW...the previous generation Preludes are faster, since they're much lighter than the latest versions, with basically the same engines...I've seen a stock (with I/E only) '95 run a 14.9...
A stock Integra will not beat a stock Prelude unless the Integra is a Type R.

2000 Acura Integra - 15.7
2000 Honda Prelude - 15.4
