It adds more power... extra 'loudness' is a side effect.

At what two rpm points will the vtec kick in? (95 gsr)

I will try your idea Ramman949, though I am going to have to get help from my friend when I try to find the secondary vaccume. Thanks.

Not in a B18C. There is only one VTEC engagement point, and one point where the secondary runners open.

as stated above, not on these motors.

Just wanted to correct the RPM, it's 4400 not 5500.
