Generally speaking... 1/4...

think about how nasty of an engine you could built w/ the 30k that the guys w/ the wrx's spent on the car and parts. and those big v8's from the 60's-90's mostly run 14-16 second 1/4 times, there slow too, w/ twice the displacement. h22 eg's open header and slicks can pull high 12's.

my friend knows some one on honda tech that pulled of i think it was like an 11.9 h22 hatch, gutted, open header, chipped, intake, slicks, and the 5th or 6th pass of the day. hows that for fast????

eg hatch - 2000
gutted - 0
open header - 0
chipped - depends on chip ( my friend w/ the h22 hatch got his from a guy who just got a hondata, he paid 10 $ since the guy didn't need it nemore )
intake - 200
slicks - 500 ( roughly )
h22 motor w/ stage 1 dss custom axles and mounts and all parts including wires - 3000

total 5750 $. how about that for an 11 second car.

if i posted on honda tech then i would tell you the guys name, i can find out for sure if you want, and find out exactly what that guy has. and if wanted then i'll find out his honda tech screen name so you can ask him about it.

GO 4 BANGERS

b18c dx,
Yes, yes....with what you explained, I can easily see the hatch hitting times like that, especially with slicks! What I was talking about is original parts/motor in the cars...no frankensteining involved. The factory cars are made for reliable use, not drag racing. Your friend's car is better equipped for the drags.
