The reflash for the Acura RDX is finally here. Although I do not intend on getting this (yet - too new - promised not to modify my new vehicle), I would like to know if people with RDXs (with the *****) that are planning on getting this upgrade. The results are pretty impressive.

Power gains are everywhere, from a strong increase in low end torque to a good increase in top end power above 5500 RPM.

Rev limiter raised to 7200 rpm. (sportshift mode only)
10-20 Hp gain everywhere - 26 at peak.
33 ft lb torque at 3300 rpm </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

holy crap that's expensive!!!

 

To be quite honest, assuming that my understanding is correct, the price for

all this:

[-Rev limiter raised to 7200 rpm. (sportshift mode only)]
[-10-20 Hp gain everywhere - 26 Hp at peak.]
[-33 ft lb torque at 3300 rpm]

is a cheap upgrade, without having to change out the downpipe and/or exhaust. Dollar vs. horsepower, $595 for this increase is cheap.
I just need someone to step up to the plate and take a swing at this setup, then post results on a weekly basis.
