Yup, it surely is. I could do 13.8 with just the mildest modifications: JDM OEM header, SMSP exhaust, Comptech Icebox.
I never did a quarter after we finished the car in its 192 HP (Dynojet) configuration, but I'm sure it was well in the range that you are after. Still just mild modifications: added SMSP header, mild port/polish, flow the injectors, very slight compression increase.
Original cams, but adjustable gears and Hondata give a lot of oomph down low.

Nah, there's a lot you can do.
[quote:aa9de1356c]I'd also like to make a note that I have a $20,000 (canadian) to spend AFTER the swap. [/quote:aa9de1356c]
You won't have to spend that much.
I understand all you said about why you don't want an ITR, but I'd have searched for one if I had all that money to spend.
