Sounds about right.The engine is built for fuel economy.I drove mine for a year before swapping a ls turbo in it.Anything you do to this car will make it slower.The ecu is very specific to that engine/car.An exhaust leak or modified exhaust will make it slower.A k&n filter will make it slower.Swapping a d-series tranny with lower gears is about all you can do to speed that car up.The car was faster and got better fuel mileage using regular unleaded,it hated premium fuel.Does it pull a code with the vtec plugged in?
