Paddle shifting an auto. 1st gear pings at around 35-36mph, 40 is about 1,200 rpms. The car runs strong from a 60~. From a dig it's embarrassing and unless we are going from a 30 roll I will get smoked down low. He did shut down the first run before we hit 100, I would've caught up I'm sure if we kept going because I have a lot more crank hp than he does.

I didn't even realize both of the quotes in my sig apply to this situation. Most of the people on here wouldn't post a loss to another non-LS car to save their life. When done right, Hondas move out. We are so used to seeing the 16 second ones with huge fart can mufflers that give the good ones a bad name. Respectable death.

What would something "cool" be though? a 200 HP SN95 mustang? (No offense meant) Just because it sounds good doesn't mean it's fast!

Theres no such thing as aftermarket "heads" for a honda really. The stock heads outflow any other 4 cyl in comparison. I could see 210-220whp from a mild H22 build off spray. Fully built and cammed out with nice headwork would be 260-270whp but the car would suck dick to drive.

And for everyones info I don't know what i was thinking last night when I posted this but 1k rpm was in 3rd gear. 2nd gear is around 4k. I started off at around 4k rpm in 2nd gear. Sorry.

I was waiting for a post like this. I knew there was no possible way you were below 2K.

at 40 in my car I am a 3000rpms in 2 gear(a dead spot). 35-50(top of 1 and bottom of 2) I just wont race. 50 and higher or 35 and lower I can do.
I can see a dead spot at 3500rmp or lower but 4000rpm dont sound right. 4000rmps cant be that big of a dead spot for you. Your cam should pull from 4000 to about 6000 or so.
