Spoon is for Honda what Roush/Saleen is for Ford.

So at the library the other day, I was looking through the automotive section and I saw this book and it was how to modify your car like the Fast and Furious cars. Lambo doors were in the performance section too.

The Honda 5spd transaxle would normaly be built from
Balsa wood, from deep in the Andes forest, a Spoon
Honda transaxle would swap the Balsa helicliar cut
1-2-3 and 4th gear for more durable Pine board cut
to match the exact OD and carrier ID support bearings.
A "Spoon" transaxle is obviously superior for a torque
motor but its overal weight gain in mass brings its
peak torque down a few hundred RPM. Balsa gearsets
will always be better for a street car (high RPM) where
the more expensive Pine gearset more for roadcoarse
action, normal aspirated.http://sites.google.com/site/russjerome/

Well to a ricer... it probably is.
You know how they are about their motor swaps. I once heard some riceboy say that he was going to swap an H22 or B22 or whatever... from a prelude into his whatever the hell it was and it would have and I quote "an ass-load of torque". So apparently 156 ft-lbs was his idea of "an ass-load" of torque.
