where the f*ck did I say it would whoop a K. I just brought up some people who run the H all day long and have beaten heavily worked K's in the same chassis.
right there... you just said it again

Nail = right on the head. I love long gears!
most frumaroll ricer "street racers" do
it wont be worth a s**t on the track... but you'll be able to do pretty well as long as you start the race at about 80mph
practice saying this: "wanna frumaroll?"

Also, gear ratios won't matter to me b/c when I do a turbo H, the longer gears will be a little better for boosting. What else is sick is that my motor will DESTROY a type R bolt ons or stock. Other sickening thing is that I could swap out my B series(hypothetically) for an H series(the whole shebang) for less than I could even buy a type R motor and bolt up to my existing setup. I could do an H2B with all my stuff and rape a type R b/c of my SIR2 tranny w/ LSD makes it identical in gear ratios to a usdm type R. Great plan for me If my motor already wasn't a 200 whp n/a motor. If the B blows for any reason, for the right price I may just build an H all motor & nitrous.
wow, so if you add a turbo and swap out the transmission you can beat a motor that had less power to begin with... that's genius!
did you have to go to school to figure that out?
lets just leave out the fact that even though it's possible, the stock h22 is one of the worst honda motors for boost. go ahead and add reliability to the list of things you dont matter to you
and yes, put a stock c5 and a stock h22 into the same chassis with equal drivers and the c5 will pass the 1/4mile marker first every time. While the h22 does have good low end torque to help it get off the line quicker, low end torque wont do s**t for you at the higher speeds and that's when the c5 will fly past the h22.
this isnt a guess nor a conclusion i came to after weighing the specs.... it's something that's been tried and proven on many occasions.
while the c5 is overpriced for the power, the motor itself is a work of art.
the entire motor is hand built/assembled to near perfection and it's amazing construction and efficiency shine through at those high rpm's
if you're focused solely on bang for the buck power... then f**k the h22, buy yourself a foxbody mustang with a 5.0 (you can buy the whole car for the price of a h22) and do a few cheap boltons
