Do a search on EPIC motoring. His name will pop up. He was the one who recommended to do them on the spot. I'm too damn lazy to do it right now.

I want to have the intake installed before then. Injen or icebox? I know that injen puts out 12+ hp and comptech is less then 10. Is it a huge difference with a combo of reflash? If I'm not mistaken Hondata reflash test used icebox combp right? Sorry for the long questiion.

Thx... yeha I have decided to get the injen CAi too. just too good to pass out on a deal. On ebay I saw a black injen Cai for $208 with free shipping.

5. Fuel economy doesn't suffer at all. If anything it's better. I just realized that I went 190 miles on 1/2 tank of gas, including stop and go Jersey shore traffic, and a lot of WOT. Not something I would've expected.

If you add any kind of forced induction or other major engine mod you'll feel a definite change in the car's acceleration - that pin-you-in-your-seat feeling. With this it's just filling in torque where there previously was less so the car pulls ALL THE WAY to redline. It's hard to describe without actually driving it before and after. It's like they just put something there that wasn't there before, but should've been.
Mind you I had the AC on but still, I'd imagine with Hondata it would have been much different, much better... here's what happened:
Pulling out of right turn in 1st (heading toward beginning of highway) then punched it WOT right after crossing some railway (didn't WOT before that otherwise might hop and break traction going over the railway), pulled all the way to redline + little bit (just before fuel cut); upshift to 2nd, WOT... then came the "big torque hole" from 5k rpm on until VTEC kicked in again, hit redline again then up to 3rd, then short-shifted through the gears and cruised.
I told my wife we just redlined twice. Even she was like... "Really? That didn't feel like it." She clearly remembers how it was in the 98 Prelude and can tell the difference too! And she's not a car nut by any means.
I need Hondata... I told her Hondata would make it right!

I've been progressively feeding her about Hondata, rearsway upgrade... Even asked her if she thinks the wheelwell gap (especially front) is a bit big, she agrees!!! I am working toward a bit-by-bit mod plan all pre-approved (or at least not pre-rejected ) by Mrs. 05_TSX_GP

I am interested in the gains from hondata, but I don't want the noise of an intake.

Sure, with my '69 427 Caprice. It's not about whose car is faster or better, it's about which car fills the need you have. Straightline acceleration = big block Chevy. Refined, classy sports sedan = TSX. I'm getting the reflash and Icebox, though. Don't need to be too refined.

I'm running stock right now but if I get the reflash I think I will get a dyno done with and without the icebox just for grins. Most likely I'll wait until my second check in two weeks.
