3rd gear is really long. Low 70s to around 115 mph.

Pretty sure my 4AT 5.5 gen would have my Accord to around 60 or so but the extra gear would give it an advantage from 60 and up, the Accord feel stronger from that point on.

My 6MT would have raped either one though.

Sometimes my car will pull just as hard at 20mph in second gear as it does in first which im sure isnt a good sign. Ive also noticed that a WOT 1-2 shift makes the car bog down though if I let off a bit during the 1-2 shift it grabs second firmly and pulls harder.

Failing tyranny or typical 4AT? From what ive read I cant easily distinguish the two.

long gears + some kind of FI would be awesome

My guess is that you are spinning a tire and dont realize it. Sometimes you just can't hear the spin over the motor/radio/wind.

Yessir! SFR turbo kit FTW

New question to all....my 1st to 2nd shift is pretty firm and solid at ALL times and situations. Its almost an abrupt grab or quick stick type feeling. While the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are more normal and subdued. Any comments on this? Normal or issue?
