well understand one thing. the ignition upgrade, no matter how expensive will not give you more than a few horsepower. getting a hotter spark wont do anything so thats not considered a money well spent mod unless youre doin major NA tuning or turbocharging. do i think with all that you would win? well first of all, if the car has 18's on it i say definitely no. those will slow you down quite a bit. if not and he has no mods on his b16 then i say you have a chance provided its not a long race and also that you are a good driver. i have two friends in the same position. one with a 90 teg RS with intake and headers. the other has a 99 Si with intake. at first my friend with the teg wooped on the Si because he had been driving for a year before my friend with the Si. but now my friend with the Si woops on him all day with mediocre driving. not even the best ive seen. now my friend with the teg has a NOS setup with a 55hp shot. even with that he has a hard time beating the Si. so you figure it out. id say it comes down mostly to the drivers
ive seen hyundais beat GS-R's. but the guy in the hyundai was practically a pro drag racer. go figure
