In July, I will be driving from the West Coast of the U.S. to Ontario, Canada. Does anyone have ideas for tech changes that could help my car (Honda 07) perform better on this long trip. Also any car-related events that are going on in either southern Canada or the i-80 stretch of the U.S?

Just make sure your car is "tuned-up". Also, check your tires. And I just know I don't have to mention to change the oil... These are small things you can do to keep your car running at top performance.

Put aside some money for repairs. It never fails that I have something that happens when I'm on a long trip. We recently went to visit an uncle in Alabama and our catalytic converter stopped up. Cost a bit to repair too. They always know when you're from out of town, out of state, and desperate to get to where you're going.
