First of all, why would you want to do that? How do you know the VTEC lobe on the cam will make more power than the low cam lobe at 5000 rpms?

You will want about 300 or so rpms between VTEC hi and VTEC low. We can probably recommend the right VTEC crossover based on your modifications.

What I mean is "5grand" isn't going to make your car any faster and you don't sound like you have a good reason you want bto set VTEC to that. It isn't going to make the car faster to just make VTEC come on sooner and might just make it slower.

WHY ARE YOU WANTING TO SET IT TO "5grand"? Why not a setting that makes you faster.

I told you what to set lo to already BTW.

It might make it faster by lowering it but my point was why 5000? a JDM 4-1 header typically works best at 4800. A long tube header works best at 3800. A stock header doesn't do well at either of those settings.

TO adjust fuel you will have to have a wideband O2 connected to the car so you can adjust based on your engine.

Is your header a JDM DC Header or a plain 2.25" header?
