need experienced advice
First of all, i dont post much, but i read everything i can get my hands on. And living in northern wisconsin, there is no one i trust to help me. I need advice on what is the best route to take for me. I will be buying an ek or accord, and i want to run low 13's in the 1/4, give or take. im not too concerned with auto-x, and do appreciate the extra size of the accord even though it will hurt my times on the track. I would swap in an h22 for the accord, but im not so sure what way to go with the ek. I would like to go b20, but that would be expensive and complex, but i wont stand for the high strung nature of the b16. lsvtec is also an option, but i have heard many bad things....Either way, i would like to stay with a stock short block and NA, but other than that i am open for anything. Anyway, good advice is always welcome....

Re: need experienced advice
With the accord, h22 would be a great idea. Intake header and exhaust with a turbo and some head work that would put you up there. The h22 is a great engine. I don't have one but i have the step down h23 and i love it... by up there im not sure if that will hit 13's but you'll be on your way. Anyother suggestions anyone?

Re: need experienced advice
Personally you'd have more fun autocrossing than drag racing and you don't even have to do the swap to have fun
 Trust me <- autocross instructor.

Re: need experienced advice
i like auto-x, but have to drive about 4 hours to get to a track, and racing fees are really high.

Re: need experienced advice
Drag racing fees are higher than any autocross. Where do you live. There are plenty of autocrosses across the US usually within 30-60 minute drive. Sometimes there are ones right in your backyard that you don't know about.

Re: need experienced advice
if all you're interested in is going in a straight line. Get the EK and swap the H22 in there. You should be hitting low 14's if not high 13's with the stock motor. All depending of course.
