First of all, we are driving on public roads. You have a mountain on one side of you, a big drop on the other side, blind corners, double yellow lines, speed limits, and traffic coming the other way. It is not a race or competition of any kind. You should not be trying to find the limits of your car there. If you follow that guideline, you should not go any faster in a modded Si than in a stock LX. Even if someone does leave you, why worry about it? You'll see them again at the end of the run or when they get behind a slower vehicle.
For example, at the first meet, my nephew brought a bone stock '92 Camry V-6 with over 100k miles on it and he kept up with everyone. As etf told me last night, the most important modification you can make is to the part holding the steering wheel.
Second, you don't need a ton of mods on your car to impress people. It is not a car show. There is only one trophy for the "Coolest 8thCivic" and another one for "Coolest Non-8thCivic" (not sure if that will be the name for it). It is about meeting old and new friends and driving fun. You can do those things in anything you drive. There are always several stock vehicles there and they are just as welcome as everyone else.
