oh jeez.....well with $3500 you could do a mild build and boost of your current engine and that'd give oyu some good numbers. What year DX?

maybe if you put all that money into your car and race him around "The Dragon" you could stand a chance.

well its a 98.......I have a friend that said he has a b16 that i can put in my civic and he has a turbo kit for it for $2000. My dad is a mechanic so he can put the motor in. So for $1500 can I build the b16 up and run more boost????

well you'll need a tune, so thats like $300-$400 of the $1500. So B16 swap + boost....give it some Eagle rods, Vitara pistons, ARP headstuds, but depending how much boost you could get atleast 250 hp.....still be tough to beat that car with a Civic and a fairly limited budget

i think the mustang only has about 260whp, it's rated at 300 to the motor for the GT. if you got a H22 with a b16 tranny, turbo, and stripped it out, you;d take him. H22 motor is also cheaper then a b16, b18 and a relatively easy swap. if you had a civic with 250whp, and factored in the huge weight differnence, put some good tires on it, you'd take him. mustang is a little over 1,000 lbs. heavier with driver in car, then the honda would be.
