TL-S vs. 98 Prelude
Did a highway race late last night 60-130. Raced twice, and beat him by a car length each time. His car has headers, exhaust, full 2.5 straight exhaust, and manual transmission. Also has brand new upgraded engine, but not sure the power put out. My car, in terms of engine is bone stock. I gotta say tho, my transmission is strong, especially 2nd gear which just pulls like a mofo. Anyway, at 2nd-3rd gear I shifted at 7500 RPM and then flew past him in 3rd. Good race. I get my headers put on tomorrow, so I should be beating him by more.

once you have headers make sure to get either a CAI or a K&N filter to take full advantage of those headers and you will destroy that prelude if you meet again. Is the owner of the prelude a friend of yours? I would ask want engine he had dropped in. That is pretty impressive he stayed that close to you in a 98 prelude.

Gauges usually display numbers beyond the limit. Call it cosmetic or whatever, but that's just the way it is. Same thing with the speedometer. It goes up to 160 mph, but the Type-S is governed to 147 mph top speed. At 147, the computer will cut off fuel.

Yeah - if I shift with sportshift at about 6800 it will actually end up shifting at about 7200 (shifting delay).
It is possible - I've done it myself - but I don't make a habit of it.
