The car won't be quick with tall gearing so I wouldn't waste my time using what the stock Honda does.

Cool, that sounds more like it then.


One thing not mentioned in this thread is grip, I reckon a 300bhp N/A 4wd car, would lose out to a 400bhp turbo car, what is your opinion of that and how it contradicts what your friend reckoned?

EVO as the test case, take a well specced 400bhp car (ie not an FQ400 but a converted one) and do a few laps of the ring, swap it for a 300bhp N/A engine, and do it again. Which would be quicker?
