1998+ LS1 Camaro, 9000-15000.

Is that too pricey?

A 1.5L motor isn't going to make a ton of low end power.

you could always swap in a d16z6 and do basic bolt ons, I/H/E, Cam, IM, etc.

But I know of a D15 civic cx that went 15.8 with I/H/E.

wtf? Well first I should have asked what the hell do you have anyway? I was thinking you had a D15 civic or something from another post but now I'm not so sure.

A D15 is a sohc non vtec D series Honda 1.5L motor.
A D16z6 is a sohc vtec D series Honda 1.6L motor, it's in the EG Si's.

advance the ignition timing to 18* BTDC. then run premium gas, dont worry, your mileage will pay for it.

i have a 16 valve 1.5L. four-barrel. I'm not sure what qualifies for the D series. but it belongs to a 95 civic.
