everyone is just going to say swap to manual. For good reason too. Honda autos are pretty terrible in terms of pure performance.

Everyone is going to say you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about in regards to swapping a CD chassis V6 automatic transmission to manual.

There are 2 in existence, it is not worth the time, effort, and money to do it. You are better suited purchasing another vehicle to modify. That said however, doing all the maintenance stuff and rebuilding it back to fully stock awesomeness is a great way to regain power. Another user also had custom headers and exhaust made for the vehicle which netted decent gains on the dyno.
