I thought they would be more accurate than that. Theres no way a civic has 130ish hp at the wheels, that would equate to like 150something at the crank, what did you use for the vechicle weight?

HP ratings are kind of innacurate as far as judging how fast a car will go.. a Car with high end Horsies and VERY little low end torque won't be very fast off the line which affects alot.. the actual torque curve of the car is what matters...


Also the Odyssey runs mid-high 15's if it can hook up off the line..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I would have to agree torque is what really matters you can have all the horse in the world if you runnin in like 200,000 pound car you aint runin low ish's. I figure if you kill the weight of the civics and crank up the crank to around 150ish add a 50shot of the nice stuff you should be pretty nice, but thats only for you guys who like to run.

As for the rest of us, load the biatch down with whatever you want, as long as its stylin im smilin and applaudin RICE it out boys and girls, Rice it out.

The gtech aren't meant for absolute measurements. But it's very consistent and is good for relative measurement. Say if you added I/H/E to your car and you wanna see the gain vs stock then it'll give you something to compare with.
