lol.. ok i hope u don't mean that when u set it at 4500 u don't feel that kick back??

cause around 4500 it smooth it up so u wouldn't feel the kick back but u should still hear ur engine go into vtec mode..

I have mine set at 6000RPM, it slows the car down a bit but you feel a very strong kick when VTEC engages

Do you want "feel" like you have power or actually have power. You are feeling a bigger kick because you are reducing power before the VTEC engagement point. Lowering the engagement point smoothes out the power band, giving you more power before the VTEC engagement point so you don't feel that kick.

Oh yeah, I have mine set at: Into VTEC at 4700, Out of at 4500.

chances are you're losing a LOT of power by doing that...i'd suggest you re-configure your settings before you get walked on by something along the lines of a Civic SI..

Civic SI can't walk on me even with my VTEC set at 6000RPM, I am losing a bit of power but enough to get walk on by an SI, the H22A has enough torque to bring the car up to speed then VTEC would take over. Also, I don't leave that setting on all the time, only when I wanna have a little fun with my passengers who doesn't know about VTEC It always gets that WTF was that look out of them which is

Just curious......what have you set the correction settings to? I always hear about people changing the engagement point but never the correction settings after doing so.

I would have to look em up Ray, its been so long. I think I looked at the ones on the aol site and then adjusted them with guess factors.
