Thanks John!
The biggest thing we (The Hondata Team) learned from last year was having a consistent car (or two). The small record jumps (193.7 to 193.
that the RSX did, was more sheer good luck than good planning. The plan was to finally get over 200, but it still hasn't happened. The CRX plan was not to have to change anything major throughout the year - mainly because of a money pinch at the beginning of the year. I ended having to rebuild the engine twice - because of a lack of oil in July (someone forgot to check the oil level in the dry sump)
and after Bonneville when I caught on fire (dumping 8 quarts of oil over the header will do that to a car).
Otherwise, it all depends on what happens to your competitors - who is the first to make a mistake.
