I dont doubt anyones ability. But building a 12:1 compression 408 stroker that spins to 8 SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED BY A FIRST TIMER, SORRY.

If you want to build an N/A motor that runs low 10s, please do yourself a favor and buy the engine OR.


Ever thought of this? How about boosting a smaller engine?
That way you can build the engine (302's are easy as hell to build with all respects) and brag to your friends its your work, while they smell your exhaust!!!

My thoughts exactly.
There is a local racer here who runs a 306cid with a 300 shot and pulls 10.3's.
A guy I used to work with built a 302 cid twin turbo and ran a 9.6. A twin turbo mustang is a rare sight.

I'd rather go low rpm for longevitys sake. Especially since its a home built project. That would just suck to grenade your motor on the first outing because of a simple "newbie" mistake.

Hmmm, everyone with HP numbers in their sig should add in their Dollar to HP ratio So I'll know if their numbers are impressive or not.

Better yet, Dollar to ET ratio.

ROFl you all are ignorant.

The topic was about a honda being high horsepower and daily driven. You all said it cant be done and it has. You all then start backpedaling and talking about how much it costs to build a fast car? What a lame ass excuse.

Also I dont think I started an argument on this board? I beleive I have been the only mature one on this whole thread (excluding the first guy, moderator I believe, that posted after me). Ever since then there have been extremely childish posts.

You might not like imports but guess the **** what? This thread is not title "do you like imports?". Get your head out of your *******, and use that thing called a brain that God gave you.

Oh and Boss 351, I wouldnt talk to much ****. My ****ing single cam could donkey pump any of the cars you have listed in your sig. Full interior with stock internals :-\

I am now offically done with this thread. If you would like to contact me feel free to PM me. Like I said in my first post, if your just going to say some lame ass comment that sounds like my 5 year old cousine would type, just leave it to yourself. Your not showing off, you just wasting bandwidth.

89white50: You really are an diot. Sorry to say but either 1) You dont have a brain or 2) You didnt read this thread at all. I have not once mentioned my car being 500+hp in this thread, and actually I never even mentioned it at all until this post.
Reading> YOU

well i have seen dyno sheets and all of them at the track. so they arnt just talkin ****. they are light but not as light as you think, they race in nhra street legal class so they pretty much have a full interior car plus cage and bs like that. i plan on makeing it a 408 stroker but i would like to get to mid- low 10s n/a and with no juice.

Well someones talking **** cause theres no way theres a street legal 9 second honda cause to put 700 hp to the ground in a fwd car is almost ridiculous its non realistc to have a 700 horsepower FWD street car

I'm not referring to any single person, and I'm not trying to be a baby, but this thread is annoying now and I'd like to request that we let it die.


















BTW, Honda's suck. With 4 wheels anyways. Wasn't joking about the top part though. Thanks guys.

'Tard.

My Civic gets better mileage than my BMW.....which gets better mileage than the Lightning.....which gets better mileage than my Mustang (I think). Ricers are good for commuting. Mine is white with dark, dark windows. I'm ashamed to drive it. I would be just as ashamed if it had 1000hp. Sorry- the truth hurts.
