It was this morning very early before work. The roads were deserted. My buddy has a 2000 Type R with only a comptech exhaust. We raced for about 4 blocks. In a nutshell, he killed me off the line and was ahead by almost a full car length. From about the first 1/2 block to the finish my car was faster but I lost by about 2-3 feet. 1 more block and I would have won.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

The GSR is not the Type R. At the time of original production, it had more hp per liter than any production car.
