They're about $150 with shipping. I've heard 7-10 hp at the wheels, but that was on an Accord V6. I was hoping someone who has them on a TL can tell me.

Here's the link on autocarparts.com

NSX, did you notice any difference with the new spark plugs?

Also, have you ran your car at the track? If so, how fast is your car?

You have a lot of modifications and I was wondering how much of an improvement there is with all your work.

Haven't run at the track yet. The plugs seem to make the sport shift more responsive. But as far as power, I can't really tell the difference with or without the plugs. Gotta dyno once I get the pulleys, new cam, and the V-AFC installed.

New cam should be here soon, says Tim.

I can tell you, the I/H/E make a huge difference in performance. Although I still can't smoke the tires since I got my super sticky Dunlops.

Thumbs down

I got pulleys and I don't feel any increase in power. If anything they probably decreased HP.

Rice,
That's just because your car doesn't like you.

I talked to expert tuner and his recommendation was to just remove the A/C pulley if you really want more power. Other wise your just changing the timing of the belt and you could run into problems with other things being dangerously under powered.
