3SGTE tuned up VS. Civic Single Cam Turboed, i know we talked about these situation b4, but i just gotta confirm wi Options

[chacha]

my friend was braggin' how great his car is and that his tuner was able to push 450 WHP on his 1995 Honda Civic, ported his engine from top to bottom and has a T3 turbo on it...piston and crank as well as all the comparments in the engine was literally changed for performance...i told him about the 3SGTE for our cars and he laughed...never heard of the GT4, but laugh and said his car will run 0-60 in 3 or 4 sec high, i forget...but he will beat the SH*T out of our cars (tuned 3SGTE engines) can this be true? a 450WHP civic single cam beating a dual cam 3SGTE?

why do you disagree?

things that fall under traction

suspension
wheels
tires
transmission/clutch
tuning

are all factors of traction

tires....slicks cost money...even a set of BFGs cost some money..

traction on street tires vs street slicks vs full slicks..tire pressure setup
tranny...LSD or non LSD....and how its geared...condition and strength of your clutch..
suspension set up correctly...traction bars ect..
wheels...are you using 14s or 18s...it makes a difference
tuning... gear/rpm dependant boost control...? turbo spool setup...ect..

tuning takes knowledge...parts cost money
how to use it all together to take best advantage requires knowledge of all aspects

hence why there are 500whp srt4s that don't spin off the line....but there are 220whp celicas that do burn outs
