No noticeable difference in acceleration or performance yet. In my case, I suspect changing the water pump, tensioner and belts were more of a preventative maintenance measure given the parts were still performing within specs incl. the tensioner.
I suspect if either of these parts, in particular the tensioner started to fail, by doing the 105k service, I would expect improvements in idling, hard acceleration and overall performance.
This weekend I'm hoping to complete the 105k service myself by changing out my plugs, air filter, and manual transmission fluid. Should certainly observe modest improvements in fuel economy and motor performance. Hope this helps.

That "TL owner" from New Hampshire was me 
. 694 miles round-trip! Evidently I took the title for driving the farthest to get my service done at Hamilton Honda.
I'm really impressed with this special; no dealership will touch it or try to beat it
.
Be sure to schedule a loaner car to guarantee it being available during the service. Nicole was happy to set one up for my service appointment. Hope everyone who pounces on this deal have an equally positive experience!
I had to call them again today and say thank you. The journey home was smooth and all is well!

I know I didn't report back (haven't been on AZ as much in 2010 as years past) but I did this timing belt deal all thanks to AZine. Definitely worth every cent.
I did my car in December and found some discount coupons (expired 12/2010) that gave additional discounts on other services (can't discount the timing special) Yes my car had only 93K miles when I did it but I took the opportunity to go all out with preventative maintenance. I booked early to get the loaner car. Got the timing belt with tensioner done. I have my UR stock size crank pulley here for so long without install. They put it in FREE! (no extra labor) I had a new Gates belt but they had to use their own claiming it didn't fit (I don't think that was true) I had them change all the spark plugs (bought the NGKs from autozone and saved some major money!!), flush/fill the tranny fluid and had them adjust the valves. I refused the oil change (Only Mobil1 EP for my baby) and it cost me around $1000 with tax. I could not ask for more!! Car was done on time (5hrs.) Very happy.
The trip was not too far for me (Drove down from NYC area) I would recommend anyone in the area to go to this dealership. Good service, best prices (So what if it is a Honda dealership!) I hardly bring my car into a dealer but if I have to, this is where I will go!
