Default What do think is a better swap combination for drag racing?

I plan on doing a swap, but I'm still researching the best combination of swaps with both cars and engines. The lightest car that I could find was a CRX and the biggest engine I could find was a H22. What do you guys think the best swap is out there for both performance and cost ?
So, far I came up with CRX with a H22 or B16 with a turbo. Both have there up and downs, but I wanted to here what your thoughs. It's kind of a,"If I could do it again, what would I do ?"

I personally think that any B-series engine in any 5th gen civic is the way to go if you want power and reliability. If it's going to be a track car only, go with H22A in a CRX and turbo it.

Will a turbo fit still with the H22 in a crx ?

Anything is possible...you will need to do lots of custom work though.

If it's for track only duty, then do whatever the hell you feel like because you'll only be limited by your budget and your creativity. However, if you want something street driven, I'd go with an 88-91 Civic or CRX with a turbo B18C.
good luck,
Jared
