not true bro
SRKperformance, a B16 head on a GSR block LOWERS compression, GSR pistons are not that nigh in compresion, its the cyl chambers GSR head where the GSR gets the higher compresion, a b16 head has a bigger quench area on the head so lowers compression, but has 10.2:1 (older B16) 10.4:1 (b16a2 new JDM engine) because the pistons are domed.
the problem with hondas is there HP is in the top end, so in order to keep up out of the lower gears you need to sacerfice your first gear by launching high, loosing your first gear, BUT then that leaves you above 5500 rpm allowing your vtec to be on the whole time, so you begin to pick up speed in 2nd, 3rd, (and in the 1/4 mile also your) 4th gear
to give you an exsample a bonestock GSR with slicks will run a 14.2 in the 1/4 mile. without slicks, about 15.2 (depending on driver, altitude, temp)
hondas were designed for roadcourses anyways, i dont know about the new honda stuff, its kinda heavy, and not as rev-happy
damn am i boing everyone? sorry.
oh by the way, im new <waving>
hello!
