ok.

increase your displacement by 20% what are ur average gains (assume stock cam, stock heads, stock compression)?

When you swap from a 1.5L to a 1.8L, you're not keeping the same cams, heads, and compression, are you?

I wonder how fast my car would be with a 20% displacement increase, killer heads, cams, a turbo blowing as much boost as your Civic, an intercooler if you have one, and the same % of weight reduction you have??? Lets put it this way, way faster than high 11s.

wondering, why aren't there more turbo'ed mustangs or z's then?

most of the supercharged stags i've seen are slow (low 12s) but a couple of the na ones in my area are 10s no spray lol
Well, the stangs that are s/c probly have nothing in the suspension department. I know a guy 10min away with a cheap setup(when he was stock spraying and hitting 12.1's ) .
We are at 700elevation, so screw the: my time corrected for elevation bs..........anyway.

Oh yea, he was only sprayin 100shot, with the right suspension i think some of those s/c stang's around you could hit 11's easy, or with a good driver..............not commenting on what a LS1 could do................eek

want to go fast... only thing it takes is $... pure and simple... you want your 3800 to move??? toss $ into gofast parts... don't put a big wing on it, don't put a body kit on it, don't put stickers on it, don't put 20" rims on it, don't put a super stiff springs and shocks on it (unless you like autocross), in otherwords don't "rice" it out... put a super charger or a turbo on the engine, or better yet get a junkyard LS1 motor, tranny, wire loom and START from there... good luck... and don't let people get you down about not speaking english very well, you're doing just fine...

Why would we assume that? You're putting in a completely different engine with different heads/cam/compression, not just stroking it. And like was said, it would be around 20%

Dude I kick the **** outta my friends stock 99 SI in my stock 99 3.8 all the time..... wait make that every time.
