should i go for more power like h22a4?
or should i stand-out from the crowd and go for a f20b?
my honest opinion would be that, if you were to buy an accord..
The amount of work to make it 'fast' by drag racing standards [which is what most "street racing" is] is way too much.
Even with a type-R or Prelude motor swap.. you're still probably running under 250 horses. Which, really isnt that much for a 3200lb car.
If you spend that 2-4k on a turbo kit, by lets say Greddy [which I think is dog shit btw] for your prelude swap, you'll get an additional 65horses @8lbs of boost.
300 ish horses, still not incredible for the car weight.
The average domestic that races, will have at least a small block 350 and it'll weigh about as much as your accord.
