EP vs Lx

I am going to meet up with an owner of the new si. We are going to have a few runs.
He said he has a cpu upgrade, what would that put him at, hp wise.

EP: cpu upgrade
Lx: header, SRI

if the EP has some sort of upgrade to its ECM and if the driver is decent, you're screwed.

I have an Si hatch and it will whoop the LX in stock form. The Hondata ECU flash should be giving him about 10-15hp (stock otherwise) throughout the rpm band and a higher rev limiter...about 7700 i think. Just the increased rev limiter is nuts. Have heard of people knocking 1 sec off the 1/4 mile with this upgrade. Being able to take the 1/4 mile in only 3rd allows one less shift = time!

But, I would add....bring it to the track.

Ummm, you must be thinking of something else. The EP has i-VTEC, which in comparison to previous Si's, has a bit better low-end.
