    I was on my way to mickey d's to get my fat fixation, when i look to my left and see the burnt orange rsx that buzzes through town. Hmmmm....why not? I pulled behind him and waited for him to get in the right lane. 3 beeps, he jumps on the 2nd beep. I mat it while my buddys lookin at the scanner. Im watchin the boost guage and the road. I had him by 4 car lengths at 140mph according to my gps, seen 18psi on my 3.5" and 0kr. Not even a blip of it. I text the kid afterwards, he doesnt have my number mind you.

    "Its just a grand prix dude"
    "Who the **** is this?"

    I politely ignore him. Muahahaha.

    Fist kill in the GP and it was GREAT!

    A website said RSX are 200-220 hp. Not a bad kill but if you're at 140 mph in winter that doesn't sound very smart. At first, for some reason, I was thinking NSX I was like yeah right.

    you have a vacuum leak somewhere. 20" at idle is the standard norm.

    ...just my ignorance thinking... possible that the higher compression lower end making it read as if its pushing higher boost??? porting, pulley, and intake will increase the boost but over 12-14psi on that size pulley is hard to believe

    technically he should still be pushing 10 psi or so, but i think he has a hidden restriction somewhere in the sytem. i also dont get how youd get boost over what out MAP sensor can even adjust for without knocking.
