He is running a tax motor and 6 sipped trans. Don't know what your running but the tax has dual crew on both intake cam and exhaust cam. Our accords only single vtec. I am betting that he has his cams cut to adjust timing to 45 degrees where as outs does not. 6 speed trans completely changes the ratios at what power you will be putting outThese things can allow him to keep pulling good numbers where as ours can't. Tim awesome numbers man!!!!! Very impressed

Actually, things have changed quiet a bit.  The TSX motor was damaged in October of 2011 when I dropped a valve.  The head was completely destroyed, but the block was salvageable.  I brought the block to ERL Performance for their Turbo Race package.  They sleeved the block, bored it to 88mm, put in a deck guard, and assembled it with Manley Turbo Tuff rods, CP 11:1 pistons, ACL race bearings and held together with ARP studs on the girdle, rods and head.  Since the head was destroyed, I picked up a K20A2 head and had it ported and polished.  The K20A2 head flows about 317 cfm on the intake, which is a lot better than the K24A2 head, which flows about 290 cfm on the intake.  I replaced the valve guides, valves, springs, retainers and keepers with Ferrea components and I'm using IPS KSC '11 cams.  Supposedly, only 5 sets of these cams were made and have a 0.500" lift on the high speed lobe on the intake.  At this point, my motor is pretty much built to take whatever I throw at it.

Tim, I want your roof rack setup.  Tell me more specifics, please.

Tim, I want your roof rack setup.  Tell me more specifics, please.

It's just a Thule roof rack with the square bars, a Thule cargo box (don't remember the model number) and 2 Thule 599XTR bike carriers.

[gargantula99]

See, when I got my honda oem roof rack the instructions said that the maximum wait of the rack was 88lbs because that was the maximum weight capacity of the roof. But then I check Thule and they have racks that can hold 175 pounds.

I've always wanted to put two bike racks and a carrier but never tried it. Now I know it works. Thanks Tim.

I need to take a look at your OEM rack. The one I got from Ryan doesn't clamp down tight enough. I think the hardware mounts are different. I just ordered new clamps from Honda today.
