well with my car in the 8th mile with full interior i ran a 10.7 and i have the bone stock dx 1.5 with intake,exhaust, and a ignition amplifier, i also use a hotter heat range plug for a cleaner better burn on fuel so that makes a little more power, and then its all about driving skills also. i am going to be doing the mpfi swap along with a tdo5 mitsu turbo. i am hoping with the right components i can make 300hp (without any knock) so the dx has potential you just have to know how to do it. get a hold of poontang he has alot of info on the dx turbo setup
