I just cant see that happening. From a stop torque is not the only factor. Where talking about a good launch,traction, etc...... The b16 C/R is much higher than the b18b. Thus more HP. Also, the B16 rev much higher and b16 has a better flowing head . Personally, the b16 tranny is much better for the streets. You said Hp has nothing to do with drag racing. Where did you get that from?HP has nothing to do with drag racing! What!!
I have yet to here any facts on why "Vtec" or the b16 cant perform it's task.
