So how fast would a SCed RSX-S with the usual I/H/E, sticky tires, and Hondata ECU be? Low 5's 0-60? high 13's in the quarter?

With 254whp, it'd be in the low 13's, maybe high 12's.

A lot of people say that they cannot get traction. So they won't see low 13s or 12s with 254 hp.

You are on the money if we could get the traction. Need some super sticky tires aired down to around 20psi or less. But the car isn't meant for quarter mile runs anyway. It would add the acceleration it needs for a road course track though for it to keep up in the straightaways.

I thought there are also Lysholm superchargers which would give you the boost performance of a roots yet closer to the efficiency of a Centrifugal. Any reason why JR doesn't use these types? Can anybody shed more light on this?

Thanks
