ATTN: anyone with VTEC controller!!!

okay, I'm running out of performance parts to find for my TL and damn it I want my TL to go faster than 14.563 quarter mile. I've header/exaust/pulley/CAI. I know the controller makes the VTEC kicks in earlier, but would that actually help me out in quarter mile?

by the way, this is my track results in Off Topic, read it!!!

It won't really help you too much. You have to program that thing just right otherwise you can really mess things up with your engine. I read your thread awhile back asking what you can do to make your car faster and that you didn't want nitrous. Well, nitrous is about all you can do right now besides waiting for the RES, or supercharger. That is unless you want to rip out your backseat and completely strip your car to drop weight.

Yeah, the mystery mod #1. For speed absolutely right now, nitrous is it. I am not a fan of nitrous. It always poses a risk to your engine, plus it is not constant power. That power is gone when your bottle is empty, so I think it is kinda pointless.

Speaking of which, has anyone heard any more news on when this is coming out? Last I heard, Rick was having problems trying to duplicate the initial results.
