I thought about that. I think a 14 second hatch would be sufficient, though. I don't want to blow fuel economy out of the water because I already have 1 turbo car, and it's getting a 7-angle valve job, JE pistons and Eagle rods today. I'm not expecting a LS swapped civic to ever touch what this thing's going to do even though it's 1300lbs lighter. I'm shooting for 450hp at 22-24 PSI.

What does GTU stand for, anyway? Grand Touring Unit? That designation has always bugged the crap out of me. :dunno: A lot of DSM PPL use RX-7 wheels because the lug pattern is the same, they're wide as fawk, and DSMers are cheap bastards. The offset is different though. You have to use spacers to do it.

So your friend's '91 hatch runs better than a 13.8? Impressive! It's not easy to flog an EVO. Especially if the EVO driver knows how to launch. That's definitely a good kill.
