3sgte in an ST vs RSX Type - S Stock Options

[MonsterBOX]

im about to do the long ass installation of the 2g 3sgte into my 1997 ST with a boost controller looking to do about 13psi...everyone is dissin my car now and when I get the engine in a few months I wanna run it up against a new Acura RSX Type - S...i think they do 210 at the crank? anyways ive driven it, so far the RSX seems faster than RWD Silvia SR20DET!.....just woundering if anyone knew how a front wheel drive 3sgte at 13psi would match up to a stock RSX type S before i put down alot of money on a bet...ive never driven a 3sgte so this if anyone who has one has done alot of racing please give me some feedback on how this thing matches up to the world of racing

it seems my point hasnt been all too clear... I get irritated when people always want to ask questions like " if i modify this car to this level, will it beat this car off the shoroom floor??? , when the car they are comparing it too has vast potential if only someone decided to take advantage of it- perfect case in point- the Type S... I havent disputed ONCE that a 3S Celi is slow, or slower than the S stock- But seriously, do a few mods to the S and now its a better car... Also, why do you think it is that there isnt any aftermarket support for toyota engines like the 5S? Its really simple- They dont have the ability to generate high amounts of power efficiently. There is a reason why B and K series motors do have that support- its because they have potential. Yeah, if the 5S was designed better than the KA we wouldent be having this conversation, but guess what, its not as good as the KA, or a B series, or an H block... I will say that the 2ZZ-GE toyota put out is a damn good engine, but the transmission that toyota uses for it dosent come close to harnessing the power in the way that the KA's do... In terms of Turbo fours i will agree the 3SGTE is the best out there, but in terms of performance NA 4 cylinder engines- nobody consistantly puts it down like honda...
