Car got faster? randomly you say?

Driving back home from the BBQ meet in PA, about 2 hours into my drive I cross a bridge in NYC, lay into it, and wow VTEC has never felt so good ever driving it. I have no idea what happened. The only possible explanation is that somehow a whole lot of carbon that was built up on my valves just got blown out for some reason and everything just runs smoother now.

Of course there is the small possibility that it's just all in my head... but I'm usually pretty good with these things. I dunno.

crossing a bridge you say? so in a valley over a creek/river, whatever, after dinner. I'm thinking sudden temp change...cooler air=charge more dense and all that stuff. I know that sometimes at night out away from town mine just wants to scream!!!

Funny thing is sometimes it feels like my car accelerates better than other days. I always thought it was in my head.
