A Hemi is a hemisphereical engine basiclly meaning the spark plugs are in the middle of the intake and exhaust valves, like an Integera, Civic Si, TSX, RSX, CRV,
Element, NSX, actually most or all of their engines are....huh.

Oops.. I meant 220 cubic inches equates to 3.6 liters.
As for a hemispherical combustion chamber, most engines today are not hemis. For example, the engine in our TL is not a hemi. It can't be because it has 4 valves per cylinder. Engines with 4 or more valves have pentroof combustion chambers.. not hemis.

Nitrous can be an amazing power boost AND increase reliability when done properly. I used to run nitrous in conjunction with turbo to improve the reliablity of the car on top speed runs. Just make sure you keep the solenoids clean, bottle at an even temp and secure it so it won't come loose in an accident.
A dry nitrous kit could be pretty easy to do in a TL and it would be almost invisible if done properly. Zex makes a kit for many cars including the older CL's and Legends. Maybe the'll have something soon for the TL. It's an easy 50-70 hp bolt-on. Could easily chop a second off your 1/4 mile time and add about 8-10 mph trap speed. I'd definitely want a bigger bottle though.

Why is there not just a simple chip for the 04 TL? Anything in Japan? Comtech coming out with anything? I mean, is this nto a HONDA NSX engine? MODS should be abound?

Oh God. I think our TL is "good enough" speedy car to drive around the town.
It's true that TL isn't made like the NSX, but I think I am getting what I paid for.
TL is freakin' cool car.
