I could care less about drag racing in an Accord. I want corner speed and handling. SO, for those of you out there that have done the swap, how does the car's handling change after installing that heavier engine? Maybe I didn't search well but I all I could find is people doing the swap and wanting to boost it?!?! I have the F22B2 now and the main reason for not doing the swap is the geometry. My car handles well now and I would hate to trade my touge runs for power and understeer. Thanks guys.

Your F22 and H22 weigh about the same. Plus or minus a few pounds, not anything significant.

Thanks, but first off I would like to know about how the car FEELS in the corners. And, from what I read about the swap done by SCC they said that the H22 weighed like 350 pounds. I think they said that it was 150lbs heavier than the F22B2. SCC seriously stressed lightening up the front of the car to offset the heft. Just what I think I read.

I say even if it slightly decreases handling, it drasticly improves speed so its worth it. just get a CF hood, ditch A/C and it will be about the same.
and you go from a 17 in the 1/4 miles to a low 15/high 14
