    • After doing a bunch of research on this, it isn't so much Honda/Acura are limiting charging speeds as it is the battery pack total size directly correlates to the rate of charge they can accept. The Prologue and non-SS Blazer EV have 85kWh batteries at 288 total volts and the ZDX/Lyriq/Blazer EV SS all have the larger 102kWh battery at 345 total volts.  Because of the way the Ultium platforms have multiple pack sizes that can and are linked together to make larger or smaller packs, the total pack volts varies based on the application and why the Hummer/Silverado/Sierra EVs can charge at 800v when they're still on 400v architecture.  Because kW = amps * volts, the bigger packs have more nominal volts because they have more cells.  Below is a Prologue example and change the 288v for the Prologue to 345v for the larger packs of the Lyriq, ZDX, or Blazer EV SS and you get 190kW for the maximum (or do the math for the other chargers, as well)
    • Is there a good 4150 four barrel TBI with DBW compatibility?
    • Is it possible to fit a Holley Dual Plane Intake on an '09 lacrosse super?
    • I was thinking, and theoretically, could it be possible to put the aces Mid-Rise, Single Plane, Carb Style, Cast, 4150 Style LS Intake Manifold on an '09 lacrosse super, and then throw on an aces kill shot fusion lite, and then use a T42 TCM for my tcm?
    • The Super would have the Northstar V8 and while the engine was mostly sorted out by then they are higher maintenance and are a Premium Fuel recommended car, so you have to be willing to be spending $5+ per gallon.  The 3900 V6 isn’t as exciting but it’s dependable and reasonably fuel efficient for such a large car
