Well, after letting the crx sit for 3 weeks after I put the head and intake on it, I finally had a chance to trouble shoot a couple things and get her fired up. 
I was messing with the timing and such so I took it for a test drive down the main street of my town to test it under load. Long story short I'm in a pack of cars going down the street out of which I am going the slowest. I see 3 motor cops and think, shoot, I don't even know how fast I'm going. Turns out I was doing 64 in a 45. What bugs the hellout of me is not that i got the ticket. I didn't argue with the cop because he's just doing his job. What i am mad about is the 6000 lb suvs around me who were PASSING me apparently aren't held to the same laws that I am driving a lowered Honda. I mean when I saw the cops I even slowed down as well. In fact, now that I think about it, I was never doing over 60, and my speedo even reads high. **shrug** Can't argue with radar though, even if there were cars passing me between me and where the cops were...
Well, i guess the mini-me cost me another $300 more than I planned. So keep that in mind if you are thinking of doing an upgrade or a swap.
Hooray for the y8 head and z6 intake though, Now I just need to get that chip from matt so i can drop in my crower cam...
