You feel more pull, and a lot more pep, I especially feel the difference in power when going up hill, that little extra Torque goes a long way.

what you are feeling is higher gearing
thats why b16's seem so much faster then d16's they only have 30 hp on top and degliable torque difference bu its the gearing that makes them roar...

Like others have said, buy a dx civic and swap a B18C5 or an H22 into it.
You will attract much LESS attention first of all.
Your insurance will be a lot less because insurance doesn't have to know about the motor.
The ending cost result will be less than or same as an SIR.
The performance will easily take out any SIR or Type-S.
All the other crap on an SIR is just asking for theft and ridiculous insurance rates.. Besides, it seems like performance is your main concern..

swap it, it will be much better, in a way i'm not really sure that the swap, the engine and all the mods would be cheaper but really it would be closer to the type-s if not better.
