Since the ecu is chipped it could be a bad program and robbing you of power so you don't feel the vtec kick and it's not pulling as hard. Or, on the other hand it could be a good program that just smooths out the vtec kick and you think you are being robbed of power since you don't feel it. These are just some ideas im throwing out.

does the engine bog or is it just a nice linear pull? a properly tuned engine will have a smoothe vtec transition. if you raied the x over to say 6k, you will FEEL vtec, but you are losing midrange

it`s like a linear pull. but difficult to feel the pull.

if its not losing power and straining to reach red line, you are running just fine. dyno time and tuning the timing, cam settings, and fuel is the only was to know what is really going on.

VTEC doesnt add any power, its just a sound to fool your senses
j/p
check your oil lever, VTEC runs off oil pressure and the level should be just right. No oil and VTEC will feel weak, too low and VTEC wont even engage
