It depends on a lot of things. Not the least of which is, who is a better driver. You can have all the performance parts in the world; but it donesn't mean jack if you can't drive. All I would tell you is go to the track and find out.

Civic will probably win.

So you dont think i will win because he wants to race for 200 bucks..I never seen his car run but he said he does 13.3 on the truck could this be truth...

If you want to lose 200 bucks, race him
He makes more power than you do (by at least 50 hp) and is a heck of a lot lighter.

Yeah man. You'll lose your money if you race him. With the motor swap by itself he would probably beat you by at least a car length or two. The fact that he's also turbo, has a much lighter car, and is properly tuned will mean a bad ass beating if you race him. A lot of people like to bash those old school hondas and integras but they're pretty quick especially when they have the v-tec motors.

Build your motor, get a better fuel setup, get tuned.
All the info you will ever need is on here, do some searching around.
