Vtec!
OK, I've owned a couple RX7's & 300Z's for the majority of my joy riding days... When my wife & I had our 4th child (total of 7 now 
), I abandoned the 300ZX for a 2002 V8 Chevy Suburban (needed the space & LUV MY TRUCK).
Now I'm back in a manual 5 speed with the CL
Unfortunatly, I've conformed so much that i'm noticing that I tend to shift between 2.5k & 4k at most.
From what i've read, the vtec doesn't kick in until over 5k... Is that correct? If so I guess i still don't know what its like to own a vtec
Anyhow is the vtec somewhat equivalent to a supercharger?

Don't worry about vtec, you wont really be able to feel vtec in an f22 or f23 powered CL. When you get into something with dual overhead cams and vtec, thats when you'll see the difference. Or turboing ur f series.

One custom CL
vtec is like that commercial. This what sex is like in an ordinary condom "good night". This is what sex is like in a durex(vtec) condom "gooooood morning"

tell me about it, my friends K20 RSX can be heard far away in VTEC, and it sounds good to boot, as does my other friend's K24 Accord. for some reason though I deinately prefer the tone of my F22 over his K24 though
theres a slight tone to it.

Would it be worth it for me to invest in a VAFC-II? or is there something like it that would work better for turbo applications? cause i want vtec to engage sooner than it does to help hit full boost faster, but i dont wanna waste $$$ on stuff i dont really need
