Default Ok what is my engine code supposed to be....

I have a 93 Civic Cx.... the engine says d15b7(which someone on this board said came with 102hp). I believe the Cx's are supposed to come with something like 72hp arent they?
Anyone got any info to back this up?
edit: and arent d15b7's supposed to be in the Dx's? My head hurts

good question,

hard one to answer

does it feel like a total slow powerless slug,
or does it fool you into thinking its fast sometimes?

if its the ladder.. then its 102hp.. if its the first.. then its 70
