I can argue with you and spit out my laundry list of mods too, but if you ever heard of the VAFC hack/trick then you'd know that it's not pointless.

Oh yea, your mods are not as impressive as you make them out to be. If you really tore down the block, then why not forged pistons? I got mine for $275shipped. I also have LS rods which are double the thickness of any D-series rod.

It seems like you almost take me for a fool. h:

If VTEC doesn't pull that hard (and that is a relative term compared to a B series) than maybe your cam sucks. VTEC pulls so much better with my ZEX than it ever did with the stock cam.

Typically you want the VTEC to engage higher on a modified car, not lower.

Which zex cam do you have? Which part number?

It's the steet cam for the D16Z6, but I have it advanced 5 degrees so I can run it in my D16Y8. Sorry, I don't know the product number.

The cam timing between the Z6 and the Y8 is 5 degrees different, so to compensate for this I bought a an adjustable cam gear and advanced it 5 degrees.
