i hope you are going to do something about those Stage 2 cams...with a turbo and the overlap you are going to have you will get nothing but problems. Did you buy a header too? haha jk

Yeap. Big cam + turbo = NO BOTTOM END, NONE. I learned that the hard way.

you're all crazy. The M3 would kick the shit out of a civic w/ cam and turbo.

depends on what kind of civic/motor and what kind of M3

a 8-10 psi civic EX is a pretty good race for a E36 M3 from a stop and a 8-10 B18 civic is a pretty good race for a E46 M3. I'd still rather be driving a M3 at the end of the day even though i miss my turbo civic a lot sometimes. Now a turbo M3 is where it's at, 500 hp/500 tq for the stage 2.5 kit
