[MexSiR]

Oops and the prelude with close to perfect conditions will run mid fifteens 15.4-15.6

Actually, I wasn't guessing when I said 15 to 15.5 ...

Man if you can find a stock prelude with a H22 running the 1/4 mile in 13 seconds I will kiss your you know what! whoever stated it is more like 15s is probably very close to being accurate and must be speaking from experience. Besides who wants to run an all stock Vtec H22 in the quarter anyway? Would you not at minimum have a cold air intake and or exhaust modifications, a NueSpeed shortshifter for short moneyanything to provide you the best bang for yoru buck would be a great improvement over stock? They sound so much sweeter with a good aftermarket exhaust system why on earth would anyone take the challenge of running the quarter mile in a stock lude? Your 1/4 mile time would only add fuel to the fire for downing import tuning by the 8 cylinder heads

Some people don't have the 700-800 dollars to drop on quality parts. After I do my h22 swap, I plan on being broke, and I'm sure the stock H22 will hold be over for the time being. Actually, it wont be stock because I will need certain parts that do not come with the motor, and they will most likely be aftermarket. In any case, not everyone is made of money.

Certainly did not want to imply that everyone has money nor do I think that you need to drop a ton of money into your car to improve it. In fact if you read my reply it states to get the best bang for your buck. Meaning if you are on a budget like all of us should be than you invest your time and money wisely especially into a car. However, I would not be concerened about the 1/4 mile for a stock Prelude. The info provided by some was incorrect 13 seconds is next to impossible for a stock Prelude 4th or 5th gen. If yuo are on a budget there is plenty information available to even make your own cold air intake for under $50...also you can invest into an aftermarket exhaust system for under $300 that will provide you fantastic sound and perfromance without having to buy headers. You are welcome to email me and I will email you lots of info for 4th gen ludes for us who do respect budgets.....but please dont run the 1/4 mile totally stock you will make life worse for all of us who lhave a passion and love for our imports. I am 52 and a converted muscle car and BMW owner who lives in the deep south were we are constantly facing the doubters of imports. Mustangs, Camaros are a dime a dozen here. But my son who is now 19 introduced to me to his first 1992 SI that we converted to a JDM H22A 5 speed and we have had lots of fun together making muscle heads eat their words. You should have seen how embarrassed a 40 year old in a mustang gt was when my son left him 2-3 car lenghts behind.

Anyway email me and I will galdly email you back with ideas that can provide you the most bang for your buck!

I understand what you are saying, I was just emphasizing the fact that most of us here are pretty broke. However, I say that if you want to run your car at the track, by all means, do it, stock or not. It's good experience.

It's also nice to see a dad listening to his son. I keep telling my dad that there is potential in these cars, and he doesn't really listen until he rides around with me in it. He's been musclehead his whole life though, so I don't blame him.

I don't know about down south, but everyone has imports where I live and it gets a little sickening. It's nice to see a muscle car blow the doors off some rice burner every now and then. There's a certain feeling of torque that you just can't really get with a 4cyl. motor. I do respect you for holding your own where you live though. I get doubted quite a bit too.

Welcome to the board! It's nice to get some relatively 'older' people in here that are as enthusiastic as we are. Thanks for the email offer, but I have some pretty good ideas of my own.
