You will get beat pretty bad depending on what year your car is. On avg. the LS weighs about 140lbs more than your car, but he is putting an engine that has about 55 more hp. I would gestimate that you would run mid 15's maybe low 15's in the 1/4 and he would run mid 14's with a good driver. You would do better to race him on the street to about 60 where your gearing will keep you in the race, after that he will pull on you top end.

It would come down to driver skill. I took out many type-r's with slight mods up to heavy mods. Like I said, driver skill.
My setup is ls with i/h/e and a gsr trans. Also in an EG Si, which is less than a 100 lbs lighter than your ex.

chad. he said he would have a b18b not a b16b. so there will be more of a power differance than you pointed out.
