Yep, stock ecu. With some larger injectors and a tune im sure 15 maybe 20. Injectors are maxing out and its running rich, and with typical honda its pulling a ton of timing up top.
What size injectors are you running?

does anyone know what a typical (basic bolt ons) J3.7 can pull on the dyno (any)?

This what I want to see this WAS my old 3.5(mdx)swap VS audi RS5. I kept a safe distance
For those thinking it's not worth doing a 3.7.
Let's see some comparison with today's cars. This why I wish acura would make another coupe. I think they would dominate the market with this motors

Kris,

Keep it up. I remember back in 06 when you were doing the MT swap. Glad to see you're still pioneering on this platform! Makes me want my TL back so I can do the same.

Perhaps a modified lip kit would help tie everything together along the flare's bottom area ? Maybe even some brake cooling vents.

Once ya get it where ya want it, mock up some fiberglass flare clones for your newly patented custom fender mod. Then sell them !!!

wont work. The rear quarters have to be cut and that involves the inner liner which is metal and will need to be welded and extended

Hell no. I want it all smooth and flowing. Like it was part of the car from the beginning. I dont want vip, i dont want hella flush. This car gets used, i need wheel clearance, wheel travel. I dont want to be careful where and how i drive.

Id like to go for something like this (the look)

Eff yeah (again). Love seeing what you're doing to the car, and the fact that you never stop. Mileage update?

Also, I think it'd be awesome to see some updated pics of the entire car, as well as the parts that you're working on.
