Well your only slightly lighter then a stock turbo DSM. Add Awd in to the mix, you'll get owned. 10hp isn't shit...
ok so first off, a turbo dsm will reach peak hp far ahead of you... you'll be hitting it up in the stratoshpere of vtec land... turbo car will be hitting it when it hits full boost... under 4.5k.
secondly, 10hp difference coudl be account for in drivetrain loss easily... since your car isn't "stock" you have a cold air intake... then its only fair that hte turbo dsm you'll race isnt stock either. put a boost controller on it and see whatsup...

I was thinking of getting something a little slower, you know like a Tiburon V6

No hate just humor at his expense
GD is fine with me as long as he keeps his word.

I think a prelude has a very decent shot at taking down a turbo dsm. My brother has done it a bunch of times. According to a few people at preludeonline.com they have hit 147-148 mph stock. As far as powerband, the prelude will fall back into vtec on every shift so that should help. It's probibly more aerodynamic too. As far as non-turbo eclipses, I've beaten a few with my intrepid.

So 72 pound weight difference... not much; it would matter more if your fat or not in terms of weight.
Aerodynamics really doesn't play a large factor in who would win a race when there is 10hp difference. Nobody races up to 150 mph or whatever, the race is usually long over by 100-120mph.
Even if you were able to keep the rev's in vtec's activation range, doesn't get past the fact that the DSM is going to continue to boost the entire race...
If you were racing from a stop, and it was an AWD DSM there would be no race. From a roll, it might be more interesting, but I still would put money on the DSM winning.
According to Honda-Acura.net the Type SH Prelude has 20% Drivetrain loss.
ALSO i would be very interested in to seeing where this 222hp stat came from. Honda.com lists the Type SH as 200hp. Hondatech and Honda-Acura both have open threads about how it was overrated, and 190hp is much more realistic.
Cars.com lists the Type SH as 200hp 2.2l I-4.
So 222? where did this extra 22hp come from? your intake?
20% drivetrain loss on 200hp is 40hp. 160whp (the horsepower put to the wheels). There are multiple dynographs to show 157 whp is what they make stock.
Now take in to consideration a FWD turbo DSM. 210bhp, factor in 11% drivetrain loss, 186.79whp.
That is considerably more then 157hp. Add in a boost controller for the "one" mod and its complete ownage.
YES i am the best bench racer ever.
