Go easy on the ricer and try not to make him look too bad, he obviously has alot to learn 
Nah... just show him who his daddy is! I feel sorry for guys who spend that kinda money on their car, talk smack, and then get raped by the guy their talking smack too ^^

I saw a civic running 8 lbs of turbo boost and had full exhaustat the track about a year ago. It ran 15.8's and 15.9's. Remember those motors stock only put out like 115 hp, add 8 lbs boost and they still only have about 190 hp. Thats about the same as a V6 mustang, and they arent a whole lot lighter than one.

the DX came with 106 i believe. he's got a few minor things, i saw the setup today. ignition, some crane valvetrain parts. he told me he was shooting for around 170 fwhp when he put it in the shop. he had a 60 shot, running 15.7 earlier this year. i tried to tell him a turbo won't help much more than that 60 shot. he's going to dinwiddie saturday, i plan to go along to watch, but due to lack of drag radials i probably wont run.

The things are slow as s**t. With 60 shot and only 15.7? So it's not an exception...same thing happened to me up here, but with a 15.8, and eh still got smoked by the tupperware econobox. Granted, smoked in motors as small as mine is a small margin....but he wasn't happy he got beat by a Saturn and he had juice.
