My friend has a 92 Honda Prelude with a H22 swap. He has an AEM intake, skunk2 catback and a Apexi V-AFC Controller. When V-tec hits on his car, it pulls pretty hard. I used to own a modified 3000GT non-turbo dynoing 200whp and this prelude pulled me pretty good. Now, I sold my car and was looking at preludes. I drove a 97 base today and it was extremely slow. You could hardly even feel V-tec if at all. Moreso, the exhaust just got louder. What is the deal here? Am I looking at the wrong model or something? Help me out here.

The 97 said the factory motor died due to oil problems and they said they replaced the engine.
