yeah exactly what everybody else said.....

That's a STOCK motor you dropped in there.... that is way over-hyped as the end all, be all upgrade...especially in stock form....

The H22 is just a better platform to begin with is all.... you will get more power per upgrade compared to the SOHC F22...follow some of the suggestions of other members' upgrade ideas and you will pick up speed....everyone knows that a speed mod is good for maybe a month or 2 MAX if that even...before you feel slow again and want more speed.

but I have to ask....did you really think the motor swap alone would be enough? I see you quoting $$$ figures saying you didn't get what you wanted out of it.... that's THE WRONG ATTITUDE in this game my friend....it's not about that in the Honda tuning world...it's about taking a 17 second car and dropping full seconds off of that time... all because of the work you did , parts combos that you put together and paid for and made work as a cohesive unit....maybe surprising a few non-believers in faster cars or god forbid, yourself even...

BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS AND MONEY my friend.... if you measure it by how much you spent and what you got out of it you will never ever be happy...
