Default Adding Horsepower?

i feel like my TSX needs a lil more power, 30-50 horsepower would probably feel much better, what are the easiest ways to boost the HP a bit?

I would say your best best without doing any thing big would be the Hondata Reflash. 600 bucks and it gets you 29 more hp. So do that and bolt ons and should be golden.

yea (BlueFang08) is right... stock TSX have around 160-170 WHP...
so do a intake and exhaust and a hondata reflash and you will get 200+ WHP
knowledge is golden bro... and the hondata website has all the dynos

Looks like only an 04-05 can use the reflash. Which is too bad since the later models have the faster motor.

Yeah the hp difference is negligible. Its only 5 hp which wouldn't make a ton of difference but they do have one out for the 06 (first year of the 'upgrade')

Its nice but what I like more about it is the fact that it levels out the curve much better. you dont get that dip at higher RPM and it lowers vtec so when you shift you can stayin vtec. Not have it kick int 1000 RPM before redline..
