At that power level i would definitly go with the b16,the gearing will get you there faster.If your not lookin to make more power a 4.7 would help even more.
just my .02

With low horsepower you use lower gears to get you through the 1/4 faster! Even with high horsepower you don't want to use to high of a gear, we just spin the engine higher.

the 4.7 would be a good choice, i would even try a 4.9 at that power level if you have the tire/rpm to make it work.

The B16 would definitly help your E.T. with some good driving.

Go with the B16 for more aggressive acceleration characteristics. Go with a 4.7 final for more aggressiveness if you are still able to make traction.

it will be use on track, with a litlte street illegal dragracing... we want it to look like a sleeper thats why we put 17 inchs rims on it so it will look more like a show car than a dragcar. we want it to become a sleeper style.
