Vtec or not sooo, technically compared to a stock Civic engine, they are faster! A stock 5.0 mustang would SHRED a stock Civic. That is 100% fact So now it’s stock vs. stock? We weren’t talking stock vs. stock you fucking retard. Holy shit. No shit a car with a V8(in most cases) is faster than a stock Civic. Go make some milkshakes at work or something. > [@int3rw3b](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/int3rw3b/48859/2): > > explain how they are not effeciant at making power? theres a 360 making 1000+ hp in a duster to the wheels but thats not effecint huh? do u even know wtf your talking about how much work and experiance do u have with small block.mopars or even bigblock? im going to guess and say minimal at most. and sd concepts makes kits esp for a dakota You have the same fucking problem, first you were talking about YOUR carbed 318. Now you’re talking about this one carbed 360 making “1000+”. That 360 probably has THOUSANDS invested into to be making that power. Carbs are old school technology dude, if they were so efficient they’d still be producing them and everyone would be using them, but that’s certainly not the case. What the fuck does it matter what I know and don’t know about fucking small block and big block mopars? And OK one company makes turbo kits for Dakotas, ONE company. So many people must be turboing their Dakotas. > [@int3rw3b](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/int3rw3b/48859/3): > > yea thats possible but the oly really hard part would be the turbo manifolds And that would most likely be what turns your budget/slapping of a turbo on into more of a pricey project than just “slapping” a turbo on and “making a ton of power” --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/alot-of-turbo-civics-vs-domestics-from-a-dig/263152)._
