The real challenge will be offing Pete Cunningham and Piere Klienubing. Their ITRs have been the class of the field and late last year they had a third car- an RSX. With the experience and additional development on the RSX, Real Time should be full stride by the third race, King Motorsports will be behind the curve.

looks like a type r to me as well. The announcers even call 'em ITRs.

If you run the big cams all the time then you will have no bottom end torque, You will get a slight benifit up top by putting on the vtec eliminator kit (due to less weight in the valvetrain) but for a street car that is pointless. Honda's already have low torque. If you think about it with proper tuning you can get a HP peak for each cam and tune them to compliment eachother. That is why my car at only 2.0 liters has the same amount of torque as a 2.2 liter prelude engine and almost the same as a 2.5 liter Spec V engine (mine is at a higher rpm).
