Re: vtech controller???

I don't know how a phone will give you more performance in the Ridgeline, but a V-TEC controller might be what you're talking about.

From what I remember the change over is in a place that it won't engage when emissions tests are being done. Someone that has towed regularly would have to chime in on where the RPMs go when you start off with a heavy load. The 4 bangers benifit from these because they don't have any torque down low so the lowered changeover helps. I would think the RLs V6 would have more torque on the low end and would not benefit like the smaller engines.

I agree with webwader use premium before you start adding stuff that messes with the engine tuning.

According to Gary, burning premium fuel raises the HP by 10.

everyone with the phone comment w3^ksos

The fact is that it would be nice to lower vtec activation by 300 rpm or so that when you punch it and it shifts it's in vtec in the next gear instead of dropping out.

Re: vtech controller???

calling one "weak sauce" compares an individual to the "mild" sauce found at Taco Bell; weak, insignificant, attempting to be like the other hot sauces, but not living up to expectations.

"Dude, that papercut was some weaksauce bs."
