because the B18C5 doesnt have have 156 foot pounds of Torque! Not to mention have u looked at what RPM the B18C5 makes its power compared to the H22? The H22 will eat any B18C5 up. At the track a bone stock ITR engine in a hatch on slicks runs high 13's. The H22 at the track on slicks bone stock runs 13.4's. Ohh yeah thats also the wimpy 190 HP version too. Also the Type S engines make 220 HP if that makes any difference to u. also the H22 has alot more potential as an all-motor setup than the B18C5 will ever make. The H22 is really a poorly tuned engine from the factory with some serious power gains in small upgrades, while the B18C5 comes very well tuned and is very hard to improve on.
Once again people are too concerned with peak HP figures... and not looking at whats important.
