when you change vtec x-over you do it to flatten out the hp/tq curves. instead of having a dyno plot that looks like the grandcanyon, you can tune A/F and VTEC x-over so you have a smooth set of curves and smoother power delivery. tuning for this kind of result takes some effort so yes get a VAFC and YES get it dyno tuned.
Everybody keeps saying that you can't tune the VAFC to kick in too low.... but nobody really states why!
I am planning on buying a VAFC2 for my '95 lude, and I had it in mind to have the secondaries kick in around 3500 or 4000 rpm. I suppose it depends on the actual specs of the secondary cam lobes, but I can't imagine it actually harming the output. Can someone explain please!!
