Respect From A Dinan M5
This morning was a beautiful Southern California day and I was enjoying the cool air with the top down. I noted a car rapidly approaching from the rear with HID lights on. It's a Beemer. We ended up next to each other at several stoplights. It was an M5. I decided to give him a hint of what was. I opened it up a little shifting at 6,000 in first, 7,000 in second and 8,000 in third as he watched. I do this spending less time in each subsequent gear. Then, he did a little exhibition running it up to about 75mph.
At the last light before a long open stretch he punched it (with some tire spin) and pulled a car or so off the line.
I just hit it easy in first and powered second. At the end of second I had pulled almost back up to him. I wound it out to 9200 or 9300 rpm in 3rd and pulled him about 2 car lengths very quickly and this with him in it all the way. Down the road at the next light he pulled up next to me wide-eyed and asked "supercharged?" I nodded afirmative and he gave me the thumbs up.
We stopped and talked a couple miles down the road and he had a Dinan stage 2 setup with a chip, 365hp and 3.9L engine. He was very impressed with the little Honda that could.

You should post your dyno again... b/c I don't think people know how much rwhp your putting down. Blessed he's putting down 360rwhp, and has sh!tloads of engine work done.
