There isn't more than 500lbs of extra weight in a civic... I'd be suprised if it was even near that... that's a whole .5 secs in the 1/4... SWEET. now it's a 16 flat 1/4mi. ripper.

And to the poster...

You can port your head till there's nothing left to it... it's not going to make the car significantly faster... same goes for reducing the weight of the flywheel... it will help and it will get quicker...


really? Hmm how about a D16Z6 h/I/e, Phantom Grip LSD, 10 pound flywheel, on 15" rims with Pirelli Z rated tires running 14.8 @ 94 MPH, with a 2.20 foot time? Did I mention my car weighs 1960 pounds on the scales at the track? Head porting not giving u much power? Say what? Are u crazy?


Are you kidding? 15 sec quater mile with a 2.2 60ft... and that's "power"????

P.S. phantom grip lsd's are a waste of money as they will force your differential to tear itself apart.

And if you think porting your head gives you any power on an otherwise non-modded car you're a retard. You NEED a cam or turbo to force/allow more air in... porting an otherwise stock head is like putting a larger TB on... it's stupid.
