When they rebuilt his motor you never know what they did. but for the most part you should be ok. If he took weight out of the car or if the motor is bad watch out. I've beet "moded cars with my stock 07 SI.

you should still be able to beat him even with a rebuilt engine. at worst, id say he'll be able to keep up barely, but i highly doubt it. 08si>his car imo

The ls motor was the week motor out of the integras. They dont even have vtec unless he put a diferent head on it and a couple other things i cant think of right now. Those were more for gas mileage than anything else. His car now has 120whp instead of the 90whp the d15b7 put out.

HOW BAD IS POWERSHIFTING FOR THE SI ENGINE? OR IF ITS EVEN BAD AT ALL. I WOULD IMAGINE IT IS.

lol you should take the ls no problem, i take GSRs and LSs all day. i personally believe that the LSD makes a BIG fkn difference. and plus you cant compare his 140ish hp to your 200ish. you may be heavier but, you have so much more pull. kseries ftw.
