That Civic is pretty damn impressive to only have 26x horsepower and 190 ft-lbs of torque, seriously. Granted, that's not necessarily a small number, but it seems to run better than a 260hp Civic would in my eyes.

i was trying to figure out who you were-i have a hard time on here since i'm not familiar with anybody's screen names.
the dyno plots for both cars are from a Mustang dyno,which generally reads a lot lower than a Dynojet.the weight you put in for the vehicle alters the output.the weights Jack entered for my cars are 2400 and 2500lbs.
that should equal about 325 crank HP on the coupe,and around 155ish crank HP on the hatch.
right now the coupe's down-having problems with the EMS.after i get it fixed,i hope to get to the track one more time this year on the stock engine.i'd like to get into the 7's-i know it can do it since last year it ran 8.01 with a 2.3 60'.i didn't have a laptop with me,and had the launch limiter set way too low,so it was just bogging and killing my 60' times.i know that 1.8's are easily doable,so 7's should be no problem.
i've got a full long block build that i'm putting together for higher boost.the guy that tunes my car has done about five setups almost identical to what i'll have that have made over 400WHP on his dyno(well over 500 crank HP),with the 750cc injectors being the limit to how much boost he could tune at.he's done a couple cars with 1000cc injectors,and the same setup otherwise that made close to or just over 500WHP......i can't wait

Yup, another new guy. Moved to Roanoke about a month ago, altho some may have seen my truck around Salem off and on for the last few years, I visited pretty regularly. I drive a blown Dakota R/T, pics below. Just found the board, figured I'd say hey.

Thanks Adam, I'm glad I found a local board. I'm on a few board for the Jersey/Philly area (where I was living for the past four years), but couldn't find anything local here. Actually stumbled onto this board on accident, someone posted a link to some pics that were posted here Are there any other boards for SW VA?

Thanks Chris. It went 7.8 Friday night at Natural Bridge in full street trim, and that was running out of fuel, had to lift and let it short shift in 1st and 2nd. I'll be putting in a standalone and 85lb injectors soon, once I get it sorted out, should go low 7's (pulled a couple of 7.2's last year, then I upgraded the intake pipe and filter and I've been having fuel issues ever since). Then I'm just gonna try to keep it one piece till I can do a built shortblock, hopefully this winter.
