#80263 idk really i ahve the same problem a buddy of mine with a really low miles try 14k hatch with a d15b7 ends up beating me but he only has a intake i think its just because his engine is still fresh. and mine well has some miles on her....but then again i can keep up with integras with the stock b18 non vtec in it....but then again there may be a power to weight ratio

#80416 The gearing of the Z6 tranny alone should put you well ahead. The power difference isn't that great until about 5000 RPM.

#83290 The d15b7 passed you cause of the gearing on the tranny,

Stock d16z6 hatch and a stock d15b7 hatch the d15b7 is going to be ahead for a while, then the d16 will catch up.
