My weekend was pretty good, I got waxed on by a diesel truck Options

[darksecret]

Alright I was at the races over the weekend and got beat pretty bad by a 378rwhp 726 rwtq (I believe that is what he said he dyno'd at CP earlier that night) diesel Chevy, go figure, I also ran a Cobalt SS, I got 1st and 2nd gear by third he caught up and by 4th he blew past me like he was spraying and beat me by 2 car lengths, the next race was against a Cherokee 4.0 Litre V6, no contest I won by almost 10 lengths (sad thing was he beat every Accord out there first).

Last weekend I ran a lightly modded MX-6 V6 and matched him (35mph roll, if it was from a stop I know I would have won), the second run was against a built D16 (I don't know Hondas very well but it said VTEC on the valve cover) 4 door that got me by a half length the first time, I won the second run with him (it was close but that's what everyone was saying, the last run was a 25mph roll against a well modded LS Civic coupe (everyone said he was putting out 170 to the wheels) he got me by a good car length when I hit fifth. The road we ran on was every bit of a quarter mile so it was a fair run.

The Cobalt was a 3 run race because he kept missing second and I don't like to claim wins on BS like missed shifts. I did get to cruise with a 525 rwhp 350Z twin turbo that will be in Import Mag soon, he just finished shooting.

I'm really close to tearing my head apart to find out my specs because a lot of people on here have the 5SFE and complain because they can't beat a D16 with a couple of bolt ons, I ran with one with a built head, intake, full exhaust, and was lightend to 2400 lbs. so that will be my project when I get a beater (hopefully this winter).
My next races are against a Suzuki Reno (when he gets his bolt ons), then an Eclipse GS-T with a Big 16G upgrade (after I get my 75 shot).

I need you to verify this Kwanza, did the D16 ever say VTEC across the valve cover, I remember that part and my ex-girlfriend had an 8JY or whatever ('97 D16 coupe) and it didn't say it, but it was a VTEC SOHC.

They do say VTEC. There are two main versions. One VTEC system has variable cam lift on the intake valves. The other VTEC system is called VTEC-E... which is an economy system that closes one intake valve under low rpm driving ranges (high intake velocity and better fuel economy) and then opens that valve during "vtec" at harder throttle and higher rpms. I believe both simply say "VTEC" on the valve cover. The VTEC-E version makes something like 105 hp while the true VTEC one makes 127 some odd hp.
