Field's Vtec Controller

Drew, I dont think any one is using a Vtec controller for the TL.

Its set on the spot where torque is about to jump up!

go to: boomslang.us
have them make a harness for the controller of your choice (if you need a vafc I know someone who has one for cheap)

Thats a decent first mod for better vtec performance

Joking aside, if you are going to just drop vtec to 2500, why not just buy a set of aggressive cams and eliminate vtec completely. That way you will always have that aggressive setting that vtec provides.

thats because their engines can take advantage of the extra lope due to the extra air being forced in.

Consensus has always been that the vtec engagement point is optimal unless you are artificially inseminating your ride.
