damn....you dont read well....
anyway, the 4000 fmax kit pushes over 250 to the wheels, and is still daily drivable....plus a civic is lighter than an eclipse or whatever...its all what you want to make of it! yo could take a 3rd gen civic hatch($1000) drop in a b18c1($4k or so with the fabrication) turbo it and IC it($3000) and youre at 8k like your DSM...race those 2 and see how suprised you are
