So after nerding out on some HP:Weight, TQ:Weight, 2xCost:Weight (the cost to drop weight and the cost of the item, ease of parts access... I have procured a B18C1 GSR motor so I can haz some Vtecs.
They are pretty cheap and easy to get replacement blocks/heads for... its got a good balance of revs/hp/tq... AND I don't have to spend big money on getting the car lighter.
I'm at 2415lbs with a full tank (still need to add my fire suppression and rear wing)... minimum weight is 2400lbs. HP is capped at 175... I should be able to rev to 8.5k or so (depending on what the graph says) and that should keep me at the right shift points for top speed for the class... and the new 4.928 FD/.875 5th gear trans that needs to be built over the winter!
