Sure you can beat those cars if you have nitrous, I thought that you meant you beat the prelude without spraying...I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound like an *******, but I just find everything your trying to tell us is BS.

Whoa, badass. Chill out there for a second. First of all, just because I have an auto doesn't mean I don't know about "power." And secondly, the numbers you put up were wrong, and I called you on that. You are NOT going 80 mph when you shift into 3rd on a 7th gen civic. End of story.

Rep Power: 274 I have too agree with you on the Accord. I was at the track in Bitburg and raced a 2000 Accord Auto and beat him but then raced a manual and got my *** handed to me on a 2 car length platter. I have a CAI and that is all. I have to add though I am new to 1/4 mile racing and my reaction time really suck(1.3 sec). I always race autox and wanted to try 1/4 mile. But anyway the Accord rocked me so ............bs...........

Rep Power: 504 Hi, can anyone else shift into 3rd at 80 mph? No. Exactly. So if one part of a story is BS, why should we believe the rest of it?

Rep Power: 0 You mean your getting mad because I posted my expierence with this product??? I wanted to put all this bullshit to rest before everyone went out and bought this worthless product for almost a $100 bucks. It's ok though...I'm starting to get used to all the crap and idiots that post things on this board. I guess that's what you get when your trying to help everyone out.

Rep Power: 277 when it comes to things like that i never buy it. such as that TOrnado thing. i can picture that tornado breaking and gettin sucked into the throttle body. same as the helix BS i think its a matter of time till it deteriorates and gets ingested into the engine. KABOOM!

Rep Power: 344 lol its off topic but er.. yes I can shift into 3rd at 80 mph..
3rd max out at like 83 or 85 mph.. I forgot.
but I shift it into 3rd.. and its not exactly near redline.. probably 6,200 ish.
edit:
well I just read the few other pages. I still dont know wtf u guys are talking about.. but forget it.
at least most of us know that 3rd gear doesn't top out at 80mph.
some lil miscommunication.
I'm still going with the fact that this thing doesn't do anything.
most bolt-ons dont do crap. lol.

Rep Power: 504 CapYoda, yes, you can shift into 3rd at 80, like this:
If you're in 4th, going 80, you can downshift into 3rd.
But, that's not what KaZeLL implied. He said he was racing, which involves NO downshifting. So what he implied was an upshift, like this:
1st gear... redline... shift... 2nd gear... redline... shift... @80mph... which is NOT possible.
If he meant he was downshifting into 3rd at 80, yes that's possible, but that is not at all what it sounded like from his post.

i never said i bought it or couldnt hear it, and i stated i no longer have a 7thgen, you smokin crack? and yes you can do 80 in 3rd, but you cant shift into 3rd doing 80, cuz that means your doing 70+ in 2nd when your shifting INTO, 3rd,
so why dont you go re-read what i posted b4 you try to diss me, but then make your self look like an idiot

he forgot to mention that he installed a stiffer spring into his throttle body... THAT's why he's got all that extra power......or he's a psychosomatic liar getting some "real ultimate power" from placebo mod's.
hmm... i'll go with the latter...

If it gives you "POWER" than I'm glad it works on your car. I also can't wait til the Dyno you have scheduled. Make sure you take the helix off for the first one though. I want to see this increase your claiming. Prove me wong!!!!

First off, the third SHIFT puts you in fourth gear. i've ran third gear out past 80, no prob.
but then you go on later to say that you make it to 75 in 2nd.
so, 80 going into third or coming out of third...
or did you just remove the fuse for the rev-limiter? hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Rep Power: 299 or hes actually someone willing to try something out, prove or disprove the performance of it and post his results.
hmmmmm and what the F=@k is wrong with that????
Someone posted a question, and he posted his OPINION of the results. He will dyno this thing and post actuall results for everyone to see.
Why all the flame??
from what i understand circa-X gave him the part to test under the assumption that it will get dyno'd. Due to situations beyond his control that has been delayed. Everyone wants to see unbiased dyno's on parts that are out there, but no one is willing to fork over the dough to do it. I give the guy props for doing what he is doing and I hope he will continue to do it with other products. As far as typos and grammer errors.... jeez people get a life. You know what he was trying to say. All you wannabe teachers out there need to back the *** up....
Now as far as "how fast a car will go in a certain gear"....i'll let you guys fight over that
