So first I'll just go with how the race went.
First I raced a near stock non-vtec integra that had exhaust and probably an air filter.
Pulled two car lengths on the guy, so hells yeah!
Second guy I raced was driving a 4dr civic non-vtec and honestly I don't know why I lost this one and I didn't get a chance to ask him what he had done. Race was a little sloppy though, we pulled from a 40mph roll and we pulled from a 20 mph roll instead of a stand still which caught me off guard as far as shifting, but even when I was able to get my shifts right I wasn't able to catch back up and started to slowly climb when I got to about 90mph.
Anyways here's what I have done:
Supertech valvetrain
Port work on the exhaust side
JDM b20z head (not that it matters but it's basically all new)
gsr header, test pipe, rs axle back (I also have a vibrant exhaust, honestly don't which is better but the vibrant exhaust was quieter)
K&N 2'' air filter with ram air intake.
The guy pulled what I would say is about 2-3 car lengths on me (still blaming the weird ass roll start we did)
I was trying to think of what else I could do without scrapping my head since I have like 600 dollars into it.
Suggestions? I was thinking intake and gears afterwards, but I'm not sure intake alone would be enough.
I remember reading (about to go find the thread) that a gsr or b16 intake nets better gains than say a skunk 2 intake or other aftermarket intake (but it requires drilling).
As far as gears everyone seems to stand by the crower cams but which? It is essentially a daily driver but I personally wouldn't mind more lift even if it sacrificed drive ability (I mean, how much loss of drive-ability are we even talking?) and I certainly should be able to handle more lift with the valvetrain.
I know many say it isn't worth build a non-vtec but it seems to make more sense to stand by it at this point? disagree? points?
Lets get a good discussion thread going
Edit: also for fun here a list of cars I need to be faster than
lol. 1985 300zx turbo, 1986 iroc z (305), 2006 mustang gt, 1998 mk3 jetta, 2003 inline 5 sohc z3, and the fastest of us a 2013 5.0 with exhaust and intake... Last one is far fetched to beat but the rest are no problem, I think.
