To answer your question, your still going to lose-with a 50 shot. You need to run a 75 shot to come close to beating a rsx s with your setup. I'm not sure how the zex kit works-I think it has an fmu built in. I use a wet setup so fuel isn't a problem. If your thinking of just running the nitrous without adding a fuel solenodi or some thing to tell your ecu to add more fuel, you pretty much can't go over a 35 shot. Milage wise, I'm not sure what the treatment of your car has been for the first 160k, but you should be fine for a few runs. Make sure to run premium gas, put in some colder plugs, and good luck.

Race her somewhere with corners and you might have a chance. You'll definitely lose on a straight. The winner will be decided by the faster car, which obviously is the DC5.

If you want to win (or at least not get your ass handed to you) in a drag, heres what you need to do.
1. Lighten your car-get rid of rear seat, passanger seat, spare tire, sound deading stuff-basically anything you can strip out. This includes losing your wing and 17"rims

2. Remove your ac and power steering belts

3. Install a fuel pressure regulator and up your fuel pressure up a little bit(to compendate for running a dry shot)

4. Retard your ignition like 3 degrees and run a 75 shot

5. Run slicks up front

Good luck

with zex dry you dont need to worry about fuel. for a 55 shot you change nothing. for 65 and 75 you retard timing. thats it. i sprayed my 163k mile gsr and had no problems but it was in real good condition too. i also used zex plugs and of course premium gas (its a gsr, you should be anyways)

mines a RS lol and the zex kit is a smart kit which means it hooks up to the fuel regulator and knows when to throw more fuel and im good on slicks dude she has a slippin clutch and i ran stock 15.5 she ran lowerd intake and exuast 14.9 so i mean i think ill beat her a i mean i added just intake exuast lowerd it but i think i can take her what ya all think? and for corners i dont take turns fast car is made to go straight dude lol if i had a canyon car then sure

Slicks and a slipping clutch will even things out. You still have to consider that a bone stock rsx s makes 170+ hp to the wheels. A stock ls makes about 105whp. 105+intake+exhaust+55nos is still probably going to be less than her setup. What does her car have in it? RSX's respond very well to mods-an intake will add 12hp which would only add about5hp to our ls motors. If she's running a full exhaust, race heade, intake, and tuning, she's probably sitting around 185-190+ hp. Idk, best of luck to you. I would still try to drop weight out of your car, and also up that jet size on the n2o.

K well a stock ls is a 134hp ^_^ but u figuerd milage puts a dmper so im prolly putting down what u said she doesnt have header she doesnt have exhasut she has an intake a aem cai (cai)= cold air intake stock ride hieght but she has CB hood and trunk so that lightens her car up but A RS integra is stock lighter then hers since the RS is lightest model integra there is LS GS AND GSR are heavier i just wanted to know if my car would be able to hold the nos for a couple runs and its cool if i lose cause my next thing i decided is im droppin in a B20B ^_^ and thinking of boosting it o0o she'll get eating by that set up but thanks for the reply's from all u guys very much appreciated

i recommend you use a Wet shot on your set-up, itll be safer for your motor, dry shots are usually used ontop of boost.

just boost your ls. ls boost > b20 boost (stock)

no ls has too many miles and i dont wanna spend the money re building it and then boosting it

And why b20 makes more torque stock then a ls does
