one of the quickest Auto-X set-ups I've ever seen was a 92-95 VX w/ a D16Z6 swap. One CHEAP combo and an S-Mod killer.

Why not a GSR? Why would you use a B16A instead of a GSR??

My bro has an EF with a D16Z6 swap in street mod (novice) and he runs 50 seconds on an average autox track, which the Integra Type R's in street prepared are doing 48 seconds. Mind you, he has Tanabe Super H springs on Tanabe Sustec dampers, Yokohama AVS tires on 15x6.5 HRE rims. I have a '92 Civic CX with a B16A swap in street mod (novice) and my best time was a 58?! Never run a motor with stock CX suspension, 14" steelies and crap tires on all 4 corners is all i hafta say =P

I think it might be weight or transmission gearing...
