you've gat a stage 2 kit, and he just has a hatchback (very light car, not to be underestimated) with an all motor b16 swap, you should win. You didn't mention that he had a turbo, so even with a light car and only a few mods he shouldn't be able to get a win.
if you're having traction problems, race from a rool

I ran against an all motor crx, not sure what it had, but he ran a high 13. So I think it would be close maybe...depends on what he has in the motor. Or is it just a stock b16a?

well he has a stock b16a not sure if its 1st gen or 2nd gen. but i raced him today. he had another guy in the car and i beat him 3 times, du to his bad launches which actually were true. 1st time he was soo nervouse he jet dumped the clutch at 3-4 k and burned threw all first and caught no traction. second race it poped out of 1st when he took aff 3rd race we both took off but i guess he didnt get a good launch. 4th time we race i get a ok laucnh and he gets a good laucnh he immeadiatly jumps one car and keeps the same distance threw top of third. i really believe that once im fully tuned and get ome bigger injectors that i can smoke him. what yall think. at the moment i m getting mad hesitation and power loose i think du to spark. ill try regaping them. and my fuel psi isnt as high as it should be. under full boost i peg 80-85 psi shouldnt i be at allmost 100? im boosting about 7.5-8 psi. well sorry spo long had to share the stories. o and he only has an intake and no cat. when we race later on he will also have headders and a chip. i think i should win. what do you think?

i think you should be able to take him... of course 90% of any good race is the driver/launch. ive raced this same civic around here with a b16b swap.. and from stand still we are pretty close, but i usually pull on him.. from a roll, easy kill... and i have no clutch
hatchbacks w/ swaps should never be under estimated (not that you would jon.. i know you know what i know.... ???) haha.

a b16b is a stronger motor than a b16a. I've not been impressed with the performance of an HRC Stage 2, however, I can only base this on one car, and that car is an automatic. I think it will be a good race, keep us posted man.
