It only has 8 valves, but I bet if you were to "drag race" a CX off the line it would be an even race until you went above 2500 rpm where you would SLOWY pull ahead..

i know its not going to spike in power. what gave you that idea? what i am referring to is you will feel what is like when the a/c kicks on and off. that suttle change in power is the same as L/B engaging and disengaging. the shift light is my gauge for when L/b kicks in and out. when shift light comes on L/B will engage if you stay easy on throttle. my buddy has one and he says he cant tell when his L/b kicks in and out. so i drove it and i can tell. its very similar to a/c kicking on and off..[/QUOTE]
