Angel Munoz says he purchased the 2008 Honda Civic Si because of its notoriety within the import community at the time of its release. While it was initially the K20 engine that sealed the deal, Munoz has since put significant work into upgrading its power and performance, managing to push out 480 whp. With a number of awards under his belt, Munoz and his Civic are looking to bring home another win at the 2016 Tuner Evolution show in Philadelphia, PA.
