Also, there is 1-full-page teaser ad in Honda/Acura Tuning from AEM that they are going to revolutionize the power bolt-on performance parts!!!

So, What is AEM up to? something like the mysterious mod from RC Acura?

Let’s cut straight to the chase: the big news for the 2002 CL is the availability of a 6-speed manual transmission option for the 260hp Type S model. Enthusiasts have been clamoring for such an option ever since Acura brought us the redesigned CL for the 2001 Model Year. (pssst: If the new transmission option isn’t enough to stir the pot, there’s a good chunk of untapped horsepower waiting to be unleashed from the 3.2L motor.)

WHAT IS IT????

Maybe they're referring to the approx 40 crank HP gained by simply bolting on Comptech headers. That's a lot of HP just for some steel tubes. Expensive though.

They are referring to the amount of HP we'd get back from better headers and a manual Tranny.

i dont think so ...the headers are old news ...i emailed them and will post if they give an answer...but i do know they monitor this board, so it could be refering to the 11 page topic on the mystery mod...we'll see
