vs.133ftlbs@4400 rpm)  but he still wouldn't go along with me.  He said my

Tell him to send me over some of dat shit he is smokin.  A honda Si will 
smoke you, WRX will smoke you,  But any run of the mill ricer with the coffee 
can will have no chance.  See its not just the engine, it is also the gearing 
and with the close ratio tranny you will have a very capbable auto.  You will 
notice a big dif. especially up top.  And from what i have heard this really 
is not to expensive to do.  And it Fun tooo.  Good luck
