>>considering the car went 16.4 stock, i think it's doing rather well.

Ahh, aim low shoot lower. Interesting motto.

As for the lumpy idle. My 02 was excessively "shakey" at idle. Not the "good shakey" like a big cam causes, but erratic. After the tune it smoothed out nicely...even with a tr224/112 cam upgrade.

whats the problem, how am i aiming low and shooting lower. I respect what you guys do, but you have a car that has power and tons of aftermarket support and making it faster. I took a 35 thousand dollar car with barely any mod support and modified it with lots of custom parts and work. I am sure the entusiasts in here can respect what it takes to mod a car with hardly any aftermarket. I never knocked the LS1, i now own one, but i am very proud of my Acura. It is not riced out and has been very good to me for over 3 years. And yeah i only pulled a 13.6. That was a 13.6 untuned on my stock 16s. I now have 18' RJ Inspyres light weight wheels with the Nitto 555's on them. I have taken my cousins 02 M3 on the highway, i have take a stock evo on the highway, i just have trouble launching the car. I trapped 114, that shows you that i am having trouble launching but make up for it with SC's power. Plus at 6 psi i am making 361 whp and 324 lb ft of tq. I am not knocking anyone, but i was merely trying to tell you suys where i was coming from. If anyone knows how hard it is to work Honda V6's, then you can respect how much i have done to reach this goal.

First things first. I'm only breaking your *****...so don't get upset.

It's the fact that you started with a 16 second FWD car. Very limiting performance wise. Kinda kills the luxury aspect of the car.

Gotcha, I'm a little hard headed sometimes But believe me when i tell you, the car still rides like a dream. It's very smooth and with the shocks on the softest setting, it rides like stock with just a little roll.
