Unregistered	the type r can get to about 160mph but it has a better gearbox and the limiter is set higher than the vti, the vti limiter is around about 140-150mph. either way its pretty poor, with those mods and its only 198bhp? ive seen guys running no chargers and simple mods to be about the same power :S something seems odd with that car to me, underpower springs to mind.

Unregistered	im not saying it is julian, just going by what most civics with the jrsc come out the garage with is more than that. having just read that spec which is minimal it has no mention of any other mods except the supercharger and an exhaust, a jackson charger should of been making about 220-240bhp going by what most people have it running at with little or no mods, does this guy even have management on it, theres no mention of it or anything else he would need. either way theres not alot of info, and if its still on standard transmission 186 or 166 are out of the question.
