What is the 3.5L CL upgrade?
The 3.5L upgrade is done by Rick Case Acura. The really short version is it is a converted 3.5L MDX engine put into a CL.
More specific details:

Roughly 315 hp and 254 ft lbs of torque
0-60 in 5.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.0 sec.
Note runs done at Moroso Motorsports Park in 90 degree and 90% humidity.
Parts:
From MDX: Crank, bearing, pistons, rods, tranny housing 1->2, intake plenum spacer
Comptech Headers, springs, sways
AEM 2.5" CAI
Brushed aluminum interior
Apex VTEC Controller

Head work is done by the Propulsion Laboratory in conjunction with John Brown Racing of S. Florida.
Compression ratio is 10.85:1
Takes 8 work days to produce/convert one powertrain.
Cost: $4999 for 315 HP, and $6999 for a 335 HP Gen II set-up.
One acura-cl.com got the conversion, ran great with it, and had no transmission problems at all

i am talking about the cams that Tim was having custom made. I am aware of the Rick Case Acura car that was built (and then stolen I believe). I was wondering about some internal mods that might be had for less than 5k. or possibly if any one has had their car hone extruded or something along those lines.

Just assumed you forgot.

I know someone on the CL board extrude honed their intake manifold with some good results.

Can't imagine much engine work being done since there isn't anything available for our car.

Neither is the "Mystery Mod." The mystery is that there is no mod.

Tim is a mystery nowadays.. I doubt that he even comes on his own site anymore..
