Another thing to mention, and something which I've wanted to talk to other Si owners about, is how different the car performs when it is at different temperatures. See how one of your runs is.06 of a second faster in the 60'. This should really show up in the overall e.t.--at least .1 faster--but that run was actually slower. How is this possible? It's either driver shifting inconsistently, or its the computer not putting in as much fuel and timing due to a cooler car.

I worry about this because a cool motor always runs better than a hot motor, but if Honda has us only getting so much timing on a cool motor, this whole enterprise is an uphill battle.

I say all of this because I used to beat the living hell out of my 2000 camaro, which was the 1st "cam only" Ls1 in the 10s, when the motor was as cold as possible. The throttle body and intake manifold spacers we put on our cars serve this purpose, but nothing, naturally aspirated at least, substitutes for a cool head and block.
