I was going to install the 9lb SC until I found out that Comptech leaves you completely on your own. So I am stuck with the 6lb, which they cover for a year. Did you guys know this?

In theory after the warranty already expired one could upgrade to the 9lb? I was told it's roughly $1500.

Wow, only $75.00/hp...that's a bargain for Comptech! After all, they want $10,000 for about 85 hp which runs about $117.64 per pony. That makes the $45/hp I got with my BBSC seem pretty reasonable. (124hp for $5,600) Even at the new price that would only be less than half the $/hp.

Well, no one ever bought an NSX for its HP/price ratio. At least no one rational. Like the NSX, the CTSC has been field proven to give reliable performance. Nothing wrong with that. That's why we paid the premium for the NSX in the first place. My 10 PSI aftercooled commuter car with centrifugal SC is a much better price/performance ride than any NSX, BBSC or otherwise. Based on your logic, shouldn't you all be trading in your NSXs for bimmers then?

Is there any other mod I should make to maximize HP? I did comptech headers, air thingy, SC, and Taitec JGTC parallel.

Assuming that you are still under Acura warranty, how does all of the aftermarket parts affect warranty?

Yep, and it's not CARB certified either, though the smog check station won't be able to tell the difference. There are numerous 9-psi kits installed into the 3.0L base and over a dozen in the 3.2L base. No catastrophic failures that I'm aware of to date. It's about 20 RWHP gain. Potential problems actually seen are: wandering idle, improper A/F (one-size-fits-all rising rate fuel pressure regulator settings), sucky throttle response. Comptech ESM fixed the sucky throttle response and I didn't suffer from any of the other symptoms on my 3.2L, so I'm a happy camper.

Hrant you are agreeing with me though you say you disagree -- in your example the vendors are doing the install!

Of course you may simply disagree with me, and I with you, and that is what makes this country great!
