wow, you're just barely making 80 hp in second gear with your automatic? good god. that's much more than the expected 25 percent loss through automatic drive train inefficiences. what's the deal? and in a FWD car.

Was that completely stock? a completely stock GA 5 speed is around 90 HP at the wheels... so it doesn't sound too far fetched..
The impressive thing about the GA is the torque.. on one of our old dyno test we measured 86 stock then 104.8 torque with a couple of bolt ons..a gain of almost 20... Now compare that to a a stock Civic SI: 93.5 Stock and only about 103-4 with basicially the same mods as the GA... now imagine this same comparision with a SR20... Hondas are torque weak when compared to Nissans.
NOW: remember some of this numbers when you read the upcoming Stage 1 turbo numbers in the soon to be released July issue.....
