Ok,
The Man has arrived.
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I PERSONALLY have driven a 92 CX hatch with a d16z6, Short Ram Intake and Exhaust only to a 14.8 on heavy 16" Revo's with bald low profile tires. I KNOW it had a mid/low 14 in it with better/lighter wheels and tires.

99.9% of the 99-00 Si's with the b16a2 were high 15 to low 16 second cars depending on driver and track sonditions. I HAVE seen ONE, I repeat ONE 99 Si that was STOCK run a 15.2. It was built on a wednesday or SOMETHING. Couldn't explain it. Still had the stock tires on it when it ran that. I THINK it might have had cams, valvetrain, and high compression pistons or SOMETHING, but the engine had a b16a2 on the badge, and the car only had 1500 miles on it. NO NITROUS, I'm smart enough to check EVERYWHERE it could have been hidden.

B16a's and B18a/b's have always been the low end B series that get ragged upon. Everyone likes the b18c1 and c5, of course. I prefer the B16a, but I'm biased
I think the b16a is better in most Honda cases, but in a heavier car like an Integra, I can see the LS pulling the heavier chassis along much better.
Oh yeah. My "torqueless" b16a made 180 ft pounds AT THE WHEELS.
