More power does not mean faster if the car that is being powered by it is also heavier. Power to weight ratio, in the end, determines either quickness or top speed (depending on gearing, etc.)
CROM,
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif hahaha. It is a very nice grocery getter. Excellent low-end torque, leather seats, climate control, BOSE stereo, 5 spd auto with SS, 27 mpg.
Silvino,
Tu eres muy chistoso. Cuando vas a venir a Los Angeles?
Petie,
6.7 0-60 for a 3400 lb. luxury car is pretty damn good. That is faster than a stock GSR.

Interesting, my 6psi GSR is producing 199.4whp. My timing is still set at 8degrees. Now that the J&S is installed I'm looking forward to readjusting the timing a bit. Then it's time for a S-AFC. I guess it's the higher CR of the typeR working against the blower. What is the average output from a typeR-jrsc?

Rich,
I go here and there for trade shows or with my buddy to visit his family in Redondo. I'll email ya before the next trip.
Oh yeah, whoever mentioned power to weight ratios:
The Integra won't win there either. I don't wanna drag this on and on. I'm not saying the Camaro is perfect either. A motorcycle is probably the best bang for the buck but I'm not interested in the damage done to me when some idiot doesn't check his mirrors or I hit a hidden bump on the road at high speeds. I'd rather take my changes in a high horsepower car with a super duper roll cage http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/redface.gif).

:P
Actually I thought it was the overlap that the ITR has that works against it with boost, NOT the compression. High compression would help, unless you were getting pre-ignition and detonation.
And while I respect the F-bodies, hell I have a 95 Vette, I really dont think the vette could outhandle me or outrun me anymore.

Makes an FI 00 Naples Gold 3.2TL sound like an interesting project. I wonder just how far you could go with that before it gets real expensive or has to give up enough luxury features to change it's character objectionably?
I saw an F-body today that I would be tempted by if my current ride didn't have much life left.
87 IROC, 383ci motor (is that correct?), Paxton supercharger @5psi. 150shot NOS through plate. 3000 miles on engine. Looked very clean. Carbon fiber dash, 6 speed tranny out of something else (?), gauges and shift lights up the wazoo, MSD BTM, killer stereo, racing steering wheel, leather racing seats. I don't know about the suspension, but he had a hard time putting down any power at the auto-x.
Also included, spare injection system and manifolds (it was carbeurated today). He said the SC worked much better with fuel injection. I don't know why at was carb'ed today.
Ran 11.8 with slipping clutch and NOS only partway.
$11,0000!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a bargain in my book.

I am going to hop in here on the whole "Muscle car" vs. Import. As I considered a Z28 before I bought my Integra. First as everyone says on a muscle car you start off with more power, and better accleration. A huge plus is you get rid of crappy front wheel drive, for something much more controllable, rear-wheel drive. But on the other hand you have to deal with GM dealerships, I have been to 12 of them in 3 states with my wifes cars, and they all suck. 2 your car was made by the morons who are member of the UAW, these guys can't even spell UAW. On the other hand I wish I had realized how cheap you can get both new and used Cobra's.
In most cases it is going to come down to the driver, regardless of power.

'98 Black GSR
The average stock output of a JRSC type R is in the 190's. Dynospot was able to get a stock type R to hit 191whp with just the JRSC, and stock pump, etc... If I would have known the type R really puts out around 180whp stock, I would have not of gotten it, or I would have done less worthless mods. See JR claims a stock type R will do around 209+whp stock!!! Yeah right!! All of the type R's Ive seen that are JRSC'd all have had some type of problems, along with low whp numbers. If I can get my car to stay at 200whp with the timing lowered, I will continue. My next goal is to try this pulley/belt idea. If that works well, then I will stop or plan on going to 8psi or to wait for Endyn.
Here is a list of my mods, and next to it is a status of its performance.
-JRSC (some problems, avg. power)
-Top Fuel exhaust (little if any)
-Comptech Hi-flow cat (nothing)
-Comptech Intake (helped throttle response)
-TODA Cam gears (helped get rid of over lap)
-Bosche/Endyn fuel pump (helped alot with fuel flow)
-Cartech FPR (helped ALOT with tuning)
-APEXi SAFC (help with tuning ALOT)
-MSD 6BTM (little if any performance gain)
-J&S (helps ALOT with protecting the car)
-ACT clutch (can't tell yet, breaking in)
And thats about it for performance.
