i wouldn't think so
as far as your engine question.... it's kinda vague

depends on what mods are done to the D15b7. You can try checking your compression if you are suspicious that your engine is down on power though.

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

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

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.
