-there's nothing like whoopin' the sh*t out of people with a single cam 1.6 
-in comparison, if you get the swap and bolt on parts...the potential of those bolt ons can't compare to crankin' up the boost

too bad some people never think about turbo h22's. lets see a cake ass D series beat that.
even a stock h22 will fuck up a boosted D series any day. If he can drive (im sure he can) then hes gonna be running 13's with slight modification. and its gonna be stock reliability with a solid powerband. plus, the hassle of building is a lot more annoying than a h22 swap, trust me. You can push arond 500whp out of a h22 easy..on PUMP GAS. a little D motor with 300whp is definitely not gonna run on pump gas, and its gonna have huge turbo lag, and need everything built to where its not even a D anymore.
....im done stating obvious stuff, stock h22 > d turbo. period. dont listen to people who havent been out in the field enough to know that a stock 13 second car is better than a turbo 14 second car. that being said, im sure theres gonna be a lot of links to drag cars with D motors that run 13s...with parachutes and stripped interiors also (lame)
