Congrats on the numbers

How does it feel compared to stock behind the driver's seat? That's what I want to know

You feel a bit more of a pull when launching. In third gear alone you can get over 100 mph

I'm not trying to back pedal, but whatever. People in real life don't understand my jokes, either.

Anybody who has seen these types of threads in the past will understand that getting anywhere close to 200 whp on pump gas is a huge achievement. So, congrats.

Not bad at all. Do more internal work and swap pulley system. And you are even better off. Nicely done! Bet is sounds good too :-)

Those mods don't change gearing.

Civic owners been doing the same thing for the past 15 years. Our cars aren't made for the Drag Strip. It's to pick up chicks. Not fat chicks thought, they don't fit in our seats.

So are you saying you have tried to fit in fat chicks before?

Unless the rev limit was raised.

Also you can just judge a car on its horsepower alone. It's all about the horsepower to weight ratio.

Not to mention that this car is one for which the numbers simply lie. 200bhp/150whp is simply peak. Even stock, except for the torque dip, this car has a very nice power curve. Maybe nothing so brilliant as the K20, but still very good none-the-less.

@MoneyMikeF, indeed, wrt power, it is about power:weight. That, and weight balance. The very nice 53:47 weight balance and low weight (for a modern car) let the FA20 do more with what it has. That, and the steering, chassis, and suspension really help this platform perform so well with what we'd consider to be "so little."

Parts&tune - $2776.50
Going kaboom, when the weather is different from the time it was tuned - priceless.

And this is why I wont be going this route lol! That's halfway to a Innovate kit adding about a quarter of the power it would...

This platform is so depressing for making power.

Idiot buys FR-S (sshole). Doesn't understand fundamentals of cars. Joins forums and hundreds laugh. Aaaaaaaanyways.

Regarding the parts and the tune - I am STOKED on this. Naturally aspirated power. The tune clearly took the parts to the next level.

Bomb numbers.

Anyone else set their rev limit at 9k?
