Nah. Just make sure to feather your accelerator so the tranny will shift quicker.

prelude

the later ones had 195 horsepower. not sure what the 92's have. the later ones are a pretty good challenge for the stock max.

The damn stock VB won't make it shift fast enough. All your engine does is scream and shifts when it gets ready. I found if I feather it when I want it to shift will make it drop into gear faster. You could still be in 2nd gear by the time the person your racing hits fourth.
