NOS in RDX
One might think I'm crazy but I'm not speaking of some extra-super 100+hp kits. There are some entry level NOS kits that might give additional assistance to TMIC which is not very effective in RDX.
Just wondering now what is the upper hp limit for the whole transmission.

I can't believe that I'm the only one that crazy 
It's the cheapest way to get an extra power from a turbo-charged engine so far. I realise that RDX is not supposed for the quarter-miles but it fits the road fine and acts not worst than old WRX in example.
Okay, let's just discuss how many flywheel tq/hp's our SH-AWD can endure?

Being that our tow rating is puny, I would guess the trans is the weak point - plus, a friend of a friend blew his trans from towing 2500 pounds.
I would think the AWD would be fine unless you are launching on the gas often.

Long-long time ago there were Hondas called Preludes. Some of them had experimental ATTS tranny. It was predecessor of SH-AWD and that ATTS was nearly impossible to upgrade. That's why I'm asking my question.
MDX & RL both have nearly 300 hp so may be RDX has some potential also?

You're not the only one crazy enough to come up with this! I have the Hondata upgrade as well, and it's great, but a little NO2 should be really fun in this thing. My last 3 cars were 2 Mustang GT's and a Mazda RX8, then my back gave out and forced me to abandon hot rods and sports cars, but my "need for speed" is still alive and kicking.

Yes, that's right. I think this upgrade is more for fun just because of THIS button and THAT feeling in the back... errrgh! well... you KNOW this button
