I miss my 9K redline
Finally, I got to push the car hard today. Pushed it a little too hard. The car hit rev limiter at about 7500. 
the result wasn't as dramatic as it was when I had my s2k. Anyways, I'm missing the 9k redline on my s2k already

Oh come on...you knew what you were getting into when you bought the TSX.

I'd love to have a lower rev limiter and a broader powerband. I come from a turbodiesel and turbo-gas background, so I'm used to maximum torque from 2000RPM to redline coupled with a muted engine sound.
It is taking me a while to get used to this whole rev-the-nuts-out-of-the-engine deal. Fortunately the TSX has enough low-end grunt that normal daily driving is pretty effortless.

It's just that redline is high, and torque is lower than you get from big engines, turbos, or diesels:2000rpm = 119lb-ft (86%)
2300rpm = 124lb-ft (90%)
4850rpm = 138lb-ft (max)
6000rpm = 123lb-ft (89%), then high cam kicks in and
6300rpm = 135lb-ft (98%)
7000rpm = 136lb-ft (98%)

The factory torque curve though looks reasonably flat for quite a range in the middle RPM band (as your dyno results illustrate). That is one of the reasons I chose this car over some other 4-cylinder contenders.

That's why I kept my S2000 too!
