    Seems fishy nobody wants to share numbers.

    ...seems possible that (a) few people actually know, and ( those who do don't want to share.

    I have a feeling it is "B" and that sucks.

    I guess it's b also.

    What kind of rpms do you guys turn these to? Sprint race vs Enduro.

    I don't have any hard dyno figures, but the power:weight for these cars seems to be significantly worse than the 84-87 Civic/CRX.

    I have raced with many of these at Waterford (including the 2001 ARRC winning car) and they are the only ITC car, other than a GLC or Chevette, that I can "motor" passed with my Exotic French Sports Car. The Civic more than makes up for its lack of power in the corners, however.

    I would guess it's a. I have never had my civic DX on a dyno (that I know of - my Dad did the original prep). Until I become a better driver, seems like a waste of time! I still have the rev limiter in, which kicks in at about 7200 rpm. Haven't raced Enduros yet, but thinking about it for 2003, since NeDiv is having an Enduro series.
