^^ Can't really compare it that way though Mike.

SpoCom as a WHOLE took a long time to go single digits N/A. Not to mention the B is still being developed. How long did the SOHC take to go single digits? Leverage that against the people that were really had a proper engine program and you see that the "real" time it took the B to go 9s all-motor had less to do w/ the block/power and more to do w/ weight/ chassis setup. The chassis recipes are public knowledge now for Pro FWD.

The tranny's are just now common knowledge for the last 7 - 8 years or so. Hell the 3rd gear trick on stock boxes (B series) was just now told to me 4 years ago by Joe Demaree. Liberty / Xtrac / PPG were not paying attention to SpoCom when the B was king. EVERY1 ran stock boxes back then - there were no tricks yet. Hell the Pro-Am guys drove their license plate hatches to the strip, clicked off 10.0s and 9.90s and drove them home.

The K is a beast - I will not argue that. But like some1 else said I am sick of it already. For the street there is only so much traction to be had FWD. For the 6 - 9k it takes to get a proper street-fighter K going, I'd build a B that's a K killer and keep the change. For the track the game changes a bit - and even good street/strip Ks are still blowing the fuck up. The oiling issues are not perfect (thanx Honda) among other things.

I will not play w/ a K until it's more efficient for me to play ball, if ever. By the time the K makes sense to me financially I prob will be done w/ Hondas altogether.
