many things make up how they get the power. They are the same block but the internals arent the same. do some searching for a complete list. Also they typ-s has different things as far as suspension and wheels and interior

I meant searching this site. It's a somewhat frequent question. Acura used the typical steps to get more power, cams, intake, etc.

I just left a thread asking another question about transmission problems and warranty coverage.

The definitive list of differences between the TL-P and TL-S is on this site because I have read it before. Seeing as how so few new people use the search function, it is probably on this site hundreds of times.
