Wouldn't an oil light come on or something? :dunno: What would that have to do with the shifting points?

i know most auto ecu's are programmed a little conservatively as far as the shifting a little early and the fuel/timing maps....all types of cars, not just hondas.....you take something with 150hp and usually bought for families, i guess they figure it will be safer on the engine....you can manually do it, but theres no real benefit....you can also get your ecu reprogrammed....mine shifts about 500rpms short of redline
