The GSR is rated at the crank, like 95% of the cars on the road. The VTEC powaaa will get you. An SVT should be able to take one, key word "should". It also depends on what he has done to it. Honda motors are very similar to the SVT Duratec, not very bolt on mod friendly. They are very efficent as they are, so you won't see much out of a simple bolt on. But the VTEC engines tend to be a bit more mod friendly. I'd say the GSR "should" take the SE no doubt. They weigh in a good 300 lbs. less also. 
1997 GSR Is Supposed To Be Rated At 180 Hp..
VTEC Kicks In At Or Around 5300 RPM With A Rdline Of 7800..
The GSR Is The DOHC VTEC Which Is Super Mod Friendly And With Headers Exhaust Intake And Decent Clutch Life Left In It WILL Beat An Svt...i.e. Lighter, rev happy, etc..
Bone Stock It can hang with The SVT but will get beat out by a carlength in the 1/4...With mods it will eat you alive with a BAD driver!  EMIN: Run It And See...By The Way, is it auto or stick??
