    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.
