My stockish 1997 DX can hit 120, the only things limiting your B series from hitting 130 are the short gears, maybe the ecu, and speed limits.

why exactly do you want to do 150?
si with some mods and good tune should be able to 145-150 kswap is totaly unnessescary and isnt cheep what so ever.

Well your goal is rather rediculous.

1. Its dumb to do 130 on the streets/interstate.
2. 130mph isn't cool when it takes 10 minutes to get there.

Most cars are fast, few are quick.

Do you even have a car yet, or are you going to buy one soon or something?

Well, your grammar doesn't help. If you want to keep up with mustangs, your best bet is to go turbo.

Im in FL and I know the "race game" if your talking about V8's+ those cars naturally can do 100-130 easily sometimes even near stock. For a honda to keep up to that your looking at more than 2500 or more under the hood of a honda.

If there is a domestic car out there actually street racing most likely they got some serious **** under the hood as well. So unless your an experienced street racer and know your **** about building a motor capable of waxing their asses lol I recommend you put this dream behind you and have some regular street fun.

Dont mean to disrespect hondas but I came from the BMW world not to long ago and they even have issues going neck to neck with muscle cars if you dont have serious money under the hood...not to mention tires

But if you insist go B18(boosted) or B20 Vtec(All motor)

Full of fail.

I can has fast car?!
I can has SI!!! Mommy pay the premium insurance for my si.
Cause my hondas gonna need insurance when I crash into a wall.

lol go buy a stag to keep up with em.
If you want a fast honda you need to know what your doing. In theory if you have to ask you
A) Are not using the search button
B) Don't know what your doing
or C) all of the above.

Dude go drop 5gs and get a K swap and some one to custom fab a turbo.
You'll spank anything in your path. Including walls, houses, people, pets, other cars etc.
I CAN GO 130 IMA BIG KID NAO!

haha
If you wanna hit up the track we can help.

ok seeing as how the 130-150mph just set so many ppl off let me fix it up a bit what is the safest and most cost effective way to increase a 2000 si's acceleration and top speed because that 7.2 0-60 cant be to exciting i know what i need to know about how im gonna put together the interior and exterior but the engine should be left to the ones with the knowledge

this ^ except for the sleeper part, you can appreciate a good sleeper, but not a beat up car that someone calls a sleeper to justify the fact their car is a beat up piece of ****.

Our cars were governed at 127mph because of people like you.

While i appreciate your analogy, as i use a similar one from time to time you still fail because you are 18, probably on your way to a GED and can't spell, or process simple information it seems. sorry but this means you receive.....

Congrats, wear it with pride young one. Come back once you reach your mid twenties if you haven't been in a high speed accident trying to keep up with a 12 second car in your 16 second car at 150mph.

forced i think u failed to read my revised question seeing as how so many ppl wanna get fired up about my 130-150mph statement i asked what is the safest and most cost effective way to increase the acceleration on a 2000 si because that 7.2 0-60 isnt to attractive and not all cars are governed to 127 and even if all cars were it wouldn't make it impossible to go above that
and its not that i cant spell i abbreviate a lot
i graduated class of 09 so stop with the GED crap

i know not all cars are governed at 127mph, it's a honda thing.

and your "revised" statement probably got lost in you being lazy with all your damn abbreviations.
