CL-S 6MT - i think you will find that a VAFC will be more beneficial if you decide to go with nitrous or f/i. although 10hp is still 10hp, so hopefully you will get some gains out of it.
i'd be curious to see what Accord_V6_400m gets with his bypass valve fixed now....

Its not beneficial at all. Acura put the vtech to engage at a certain RPM for a reason, because it was the optimal setup.

well 10hp isn't bad, i just hope you didn't pay full price for it. i would assume you didn't though. $650 for 10hp wasn't a good deal. $250 would be though, depending on how much cash you had to burn.
