Default VTEC Miles

Some of us measure distance in miles but we all know that one mile driven under 5400rpms is a wasted one. SO how often do you guys tap the rev limiter or push it a little too hard on a daily basis?

PS- FedEx brought me a present yesterday...Carrillo baby... looks like Im gonna be callin in to work to get the B back together and see what 12.4 compression feels like... Anyone running that kind of compression?

They look so nice... They should be mounted on a wall, not on a crank lol. Now if i can just find some batteries for my dig cam.... Grrr

Fiance thinks taking party pics is more important... Grr

Not to mention I still have yet to decide which cams I want to put in it... Good thing I get paid Thursday...

My friend was in the car. When he saw I was in 3rd gear @ 6800, he was shocked. :doood:.

I only got out of it so I could explain what was going on.

3500... Hmm thats low. Once i get my POS back together and actually running again then maybe a tune will help decide where to reset mine IF i should at all.
