nope, not everytime, i say like 50/50, trust me a b16 isnt all that, even w/ bolt ons. but it does have alot of potential. if i have a good run w/ them it will be neck to neck. im not saying my car is the **** but numbers show that i run even w/ them. my 15.82 in the 1/4 was very good for my motor that has 154K miles on it and it hasnt been rebuilt. my timing belt hasnt even been changed neither has my clutch. my 1 and 2 gears are also longer. next time i go to the track im going to let my ***** ripe on that track. but im used to street racing which this totally different than reg. pavement. i wasnt used to that. im going to aim for "atleast" a 15.7 e/t with no interior.
