Sometimes guys on EM with the lean burn Hondas have noticed that taller tire/wheel combinations or taller transmissions have changed how/when LB engages. Any thoughts about how to hack that 64mph threshold?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
