Modded/boosted/bolt on have already been discussed, but Iv driven multiple stock tc's hard, my friends have driven my stock si hard, and we all agree there is a big performance difference. (not just straights but twisties also)
Would that happen to be track runs, are strickly street? What kind of times you guys ran when at the track? It's fine if you disagree with that point. We have our opinions.

I've drove the SI stock, and couldn't get past the whole waiting till 4k for VTEC. They should have had VTEC engage a lot sooner. I don't even wait that long for my turbo to spool. Full boost at 2500rpms on my old setup.

Pretty big difference, unless the Si weights like 1000 pounds more.

Races are not won with HP alone. Especially crank hp.
