My D series put down 173 torque to go with the 176 whp, and i'm not even tuned on hondata just the afc hack with a dead clogged up cat. Also you're only putting out a lot of power top end, i bet even on 7 psi it's gonna take you till 6500 rpms to make more power than me.
I raced a pistons/rods/sleeved fully built 00 si with the greddy kit on 13 psi and it took him till 90 mph to catch me. Once he spooled up at the top of third he RIPPED me though.
you are judging the h/p #'s from a shitty turbo kit and calling the motor crap. not true. that kit was made to be a basic bolt-on 100% smog legal turbo kit. it wasn't designed for huge h/p #'s. look at si's with better turbo kits and tell me that the #'s are that low. they're not. it's all relative. use a crummy product and get crummy results. don't blame the motor. and when racing at the 1/4 mile track to be losing until 3rd gear isn't a big deal. many cars don't start to really pull hard until about half track. it's all about who gets to the END 1st. not who led the longest.
