Greetings From Kentucky - 2010 TL G4

Hello Team,

I recently purchased a 2010 Acura TL G4 w/ 22K miles on it. Quite a find to say the least. I'm a "back in the day" guy, but like to keep my hands dirty playing with my cars. I grew up in the 70's and at one point, as a kid, my parents had 3 killer cars in the garage:
* 67 GTO Tri Power
* 68 Mustang GT350
* 69 Olds 442 W30 (bought that from my father- so that was my first car!)

Those were my mother's grocery getters!! Man I wish we still had those cars.
Anyway, I'm jazzed to be a TL owner - sharp cars and reasonable performance. I'll be reviewing input on increasing engine performance. This TL is my wife's car and we've never owned a car w/ less than 300HP, so that will be task #1. I'll be looking for posts on Kentucky Dyno shops, and reasonable mods without getting too stupid about it. LOL

... interesting response. so why do you say that?

I'll had to the Dyno in a few weeks for a baseline, but assuming I'm at 275HP or better, it sounds like you feel that's long shot?

just curious why?
