I couldn't resist racing this thing pretty much all morning and all afternoon! Of course he got me from a dig and of course on the top end. But I have to say mid-range on the turnpike anything after 100mph-to-120mph we were hanging! I'm pretty impressed with this RDX! And of course at the end of the day it was that time of the month to get my valve adjustment so why not after crazy day of racing!

Vit has me doing back to back pulls now. He is tuning the VTC, shouldn't be long. Should have a gauge cluster shot up pretty soon!

Seems, as though your RDX has become very quick against all odds at hand. This is great, that you were able to overachieve past everone’s disbelief. Please keep us updated with your build.

Cool, sounds like your build is coming along well. Except for that pesto airbag light 🧐.

The light is there because I took out my passenger seat to send a spare transmission out there. That was the only way I was sending a 250-275lb transmission in my car. Wasn't about to collapse my trunk or put it on my leathers.

Really enjoyed reading about your build. Amazing the potential of the K Series engine.

Quick question, how is the rear diff/transfer case handle the over double in horsepower?

IDK why I though you converted over to 6 speed. That must be an ECU tuning nightmare. Are you still running a stick tranny?
