thats the age old question.
My OLD GSR CRX that made 190whp, beat 200-300whp cars.
Its about throttle response and powerband. I GUARANTEE ANY 500-600whp CIVIC on the streets vs a 230whp all motor honda, if both ahve street tires, NA CAR ALL DAY LONG. now they go run on the highway, TURBO CAR ALL DAY LONG.
to me , all motor is more of a challenge. anyone can build a 500whp civic, IMO, not anyone can do a 220-250whp all motor engine. if a boosted car doesnt make the power, you tune a knob. if a all motor car doesnt make the power, its not so simple.
This motor is prob my last venture into all motor territory, at least with a B series. we will all find out how fast a 230whp engine NA in a 1800lb chassis is compared to guys like Nyteryder, Marshall, HIPSI, CT9GSR or whatever, etc.
