Little background:

I went from a 71 nova to a srt-4, then to a 2006 sti and now own a 2008 evo x. Learned everything about motors rebuilding the one in my nova 4 times and have been working on cars for around 8 years now.

I bought a 1990 Civic HB with 160k miles on it for $750. No rust few dents. Typical 1990. I bought it for 2 reasons. One Im gonna teach my wife about cars and shes gonna do most of the work unless I need to help. And two its gonna be an all out drag car.

Right now we have stripped the entire interior with the exception of the driver seat and the gauges. Removed the ac and associated items and the heater. Currently making a fiberglass hood for it that should save me around 25-30lbs off the front of the car. I will post pictures later.

From what I Hvae read I basicly have the worst motor I could have lol. So I have a intake header exhaust and short throw coming from ebay ($380 total shipped) and my buddys nitrous kit. I plan on racing it until it blows up and then do a swap. However from there I am clueless. Maybe you guys could help me out. I do plan on boosting it.
