i got a 98 dx oupe
neuspeed race springs
cold air intake
stock header and cat
with 2.5" exhaust after the cat into a turn down about half the way down the car
a set 13" steelies wrapped in nittos 505s (two 100%thread two 50% thread)
d16y8 fuel system (injectors rail FPR)
walbro 255HP fuel pump
stock i ran a 16.9 and a friend ran a 16.6 in it
after mods i did a 15.9
the head was rebuild by honda on aug 2001 (50k on it car now has 63k)
then a few weeks ago i did the whole tune up and shit
new belts flushed all fluids new filters all around distributar cap rotar wires etc timming belt and valves adjusted
then i went to the track not to long ago and ran a 15.6
but the main part that i do my best at is the launch
my best launch was 1.98 but usually i do 2.0-2.1 range
but mine is a stick
and thats with full interoior and spare etc

not bad for under a grand into it
but not much potenteal for any dramatic time drops from here without F/I
but IMO ive learned that its better to save and get a swap
drivin a sohc is fun but drive in a nice swaped civic............. stock theyll do high 14s *pending model and driver etc*

all just a personal prefference in the end
but for a sohc its the launch and shit that matters the most IMO cuz the higer speeds the slower its gonna go
