Sounds like you made a bet with a honda guy! Search the FAQ's for all the answers you wanna know about how much everything came with stock. Then, buy a book about turbochargers and find out what you want to know there as well, but to sum it up: HP increases as Psi. increases (more air + more fuel = more horsepower) and I'll be the first to say that your turbo rx-7 is vtec proof. It can't lose. lol.

Engines are usually rated at their peak horsepower, which includes the turbo.

Horsepower matters a lot, but torque is good for shooting the car out of corners. Weight is also a very important factor. Most vehicles are compared by their horsepower to weight ratio. The skill of the driver makes a big difference, too.

Given the same peak horsepower, non-turbocharged cars usually have an advantage because they have no turbo lag. In general, the more turbo boost, the more lag.

Also, you would also need to look at the vehicle weights. A 1200 lb car with 180 hp would blow away a 3500 lb car with 200 hp.
