Default What should my vtec engagement be set to?

I have a stock b18c1 with a Full-race turbo manifold, precision sc54 turbo, full 3" exhaust (including dp), and probably most importantly - a skunk2 intake manifold.

Now I'm running uberdata and was wondering what I should set my vtec engagement point to. Can you guys give advice other then "go to the dyno"? I have a wideband o2 sensor I'm working on hooking up, but I doubt that'll help me.

really depends on the tuning. You need to get on a dyno and tune the vtec point according to your power curve

I'd use the butt dyno for this... theoretically, you should set it where the torque curves of both cams overlap. This is best for "area under the curve", but its way more fun to set it a bit higher so that you get a nice kick in the behind when VTEC engages!

Lots consider 4800-5000rpm to start out with. Across the board..
