sorry, i dont have the cash to build a 700+ hp motor...

I have like 6000 bucks i can get my hands on. I can get a 95 civic for 1800 rip out the motor and put a b18c1 in it. Then thats about it.

And when i cant build my motor 700+ hp weight does matter.

So weight is a factor. If a 200 hp motor with a 2000 lb car runs 14, it would take a 600 hp motor to pull a 4000 to 14 seconds. Its simple mathmatics...3:1 ratio at sea level. But most of us dont live at sea level, we live above it, so that means te engine just has to work harder to pull that car to 14 seconds.
