Who cares about all out drag racing or straight line speed. If that's what I wanted I sure wouldn't have bought a prelude!!! I did do a 5 grand engine build but don't have the block back yet from GE. The Head is being done by portflow. I'm excited that I'll have a NA monster with forged internals. If I put 215-240 to the wheels I'll be totally happy considering I put about 168 to the wheels before the engine build. This should make twisty roads even more fun.
an RSX with a comparable suspension modification will handle just as well on a curvy road, or better. unless your car weighs 200 lbs less than your average prelude, there's no way to compensate for the weight of the RSX. Camber settings would be of the essence here, as the RSX can match you in damping and spring rates. The problem with macpherson strut suspensions is the less exact tunability of them compared to double wishbones. This is why real time is campaigning a TSX in speed world challenge.

as far as ATTS vs a helical LSD, we all know the winner of that particular battle. hint, it's the LSD.
