In 4th the CL becomes a dog until about 110-115 or so before it starts picking up again, a little. Unless you have a 6 speed (even then I don't see how you could be in 5th at 80), I don't think you're doing things right.

Some TL-P owners have noticed a nice difference just changing the mufflers to TYPE-S mufflers.

I have a CL-P and after Installing 03 Type-S exhausts and AEM CAI I have noticed a huge difference in the butt dyno.
The Non CL-P/TL-P Exhausts are very restricted. up to 30% restriction.

I would guess that when this guy gets his actuator fixed and uses the gates to race, and never uses 5th gear, he should win atleast by 3 carlengths up to 80mph.
And up to 80 they should be pretty close even with his actuator fixed. they are pretty even from 0-60 0-80 but after that the type S should take the lead..maybe by about 1 1/2 to 2 lenths. If that.
As a matter of fact there is a CL-P on here with all bolt ons that kills type-s CL/TL's all day long.
Another one who thinks the CL-P and TL-P's are as fast as civics
