ALSO, Bullett, I believe you were right. My original CAI was holding me back. I put the AEM V2 on, mostly for the larger intake and filter, and because it was tuned and designed for our cars.

First thing I noticed, the "VTEC" noise isnt prevalent after 7k like before, you can hear it from 4k to redline, and it doesnt fall flat on its face after 7k. Second, my air fuel doesnt take a nose dive at the same point. Before, it would drop to 11-10 AFR after 7, now it was actually a little on the high side, between 12.7 and 13.0.

And lastly, my duty cycle, which was 106%, has dropped considerably. At most it was 94%, and I think that was in 3rd. As I crossed the gates I was topping out 3rd at 7500, so I must be going faster.
