if the car is back firing sounds like firing order is off.

It sounds like you are saying that engine speed is increasing but the car is NOT accelerating as it should be after 3200rpms? If so, without actually having driven your car it sounds like your clutch is slipping.

And as ketchup stated, adjust valves first then timing.

oh man! all you guys tell me sounds about right. the intake filter has a houling noise. and this is not the sucking noise it makes. about the rpms, they move up n down as the car is going once i hit vtec the car kinda stumbles and i hear vtec going but no go.

this is the needle moving, im going like 30mph and pressing the gass slightly down. thanks

i would believe the electric issue, thing is that the car use to run great and and would do this but not so often and only when i hit vtec. now it does it at like 32k rpm and not all the time. when i hit the gas it starts going, the needle goes nuts, vtec hits and the motor stubles, then it grabs but not as strong as it did. thanks for you help

After watching the video clip, i'd actually have to say that's an electrical issue.
