I was always curious as to what would happen if I accidentally shifted from 5th at 90mph to 2nd instead of 4th ... would I blow the tranny first or would it just turn off or what? I assume I'd blow the tranny.

My D15 isnt slow and if you want yours to be faster maybe you should think about allitle time and some NOS...Dont worry with the right amout of new shit your car is perfectly capable of whatever..I put a zex kit on mine and I havent a problem...Gueass you will have to try harder.

There is a fuel cut at a certain speed, it's not drag. It will cut you at ~125-127 mph. Why would you need to go faster than that?

Everyone is aloud to have there own opinion. But I have beaten quite a few cars including a MX-6 and a Turbo 92 Eclipse so I guess it cant be all that bad..And for the record I think that your whole post is a worthless piece of shit...But thats just my opinion. And actually its not really a D15b7 anymore its a D15 with a Mini Me swap and a EX tranny and lots of other stuff.
Just in case anyone is interested. I have a D15b7 with a Mini Me Conversion, EX Tranny, OBX Ported Intake manifold, AEM True Time Adjustable Cam Gear, AEM Fuel Rail, Nology Wires, Denso Plugs, A Header and hi flow cat and N1 Exhaust, Ported Throttle Body From a Z6, A Grounding kit (wich I dont think did anything), The Head is a Z6 Ported and polished, A Weapon R Throttle Rotor, New Water pump, New timing belt, And a 55 Shot of Nitrous Plus some other small stuff and look good parts. Everyone can say what they want about the D15b7 But in a nut shell it is just Opinion because the FACT is that a D15 can be bad ass.
Future Parts, Zex Light Weight Flywheel, Zex Racing Cam, A Hondata, Venom Injectors.
Thanks for all your posts. And as for the question about the Rev limit I was just curious.
