Is it because there's only 5 (long) gears? How can I make the rpms climb up faster.
It's an excellent source of useful info.

don't be afraid to push it, just make sure your car is fully warmed up before goin into high RPM's

Sorry dude, but unless you have more than a few mods I highly doubt you come anywhere near 200whp. I have an 06 MT with I/H/C/E and I'm probably hovering around 180-185whp at best...

Im fine the way it is with stock. 
You know what really grinds my gears though..
I saw this kid on the road that I used to pick on in high school... like all day.. and I told him I was gonna get a Evo, which I was supposed to, until the insurance rates went up the roof, and he was driving a Evo MR today...
..bitch..

Hondata seems to be the best "bang for the buck" modification for power throughout the entire powerband. But simple bolts on will help a bit. Some bolt-ons focus on low-mid range, some from mid-high range. A CAI is more of a street-biased product, but it's good for straight line acceleration.

..bitch..and If I could only keep one car, it'll be the TSX, no doubt; You can go fast (in the twisties at least) in a TSX in comfort, whereas the EVO is fun and fast, but definitely a harsh ride.. having to replace the stock yokohama A046's at 10,000 miles was no fun neither.. and chicks will dig a tsx more than an evo, unless ure into teeny bopper import hoez.. lol

Rofl, so true.
But coming from a harsh ride myself, it took quite a while to adapt to my TSX, and I'm still learning to adapt to it, even after almost a year of ownership. But the TSX is definitely a keeper.

I gotta say, I'm a little skeptical of those numbers, at least they must not be corrected or have some other reasonable explanation, because that would easily be a new record dyno'd for a non FI AT.

Has anyone thought about upgrading the torque converter?
Do you guys think it would help the engine spool up faster?
There's some info about one on a base RSX in this thread:
