i think i heard something about letting your foot of the gas, then punch it while switching into D3 at the same time and you get a boost then put it back in D4 when rpms get high. im not sure if thats the correct answer though someone else will post soon.

well your lxi was a 87 also.
i say do a major tune-up.

plus, have you ever try to rev it to 8,000 in park?, for some reason some accord's come with rev and speed limiter's.
but 102mph seem's to low.

it revs to 6500 in park. where would the limiter be. if it is a ecu thing couldn't

major tune is an on going thing ill see if that helps.
