i just did a sir 2 swap with my friend and everything looks good. i was wondering if a vacuum leak effects my cars redline. does timing also affect it. im running a p30 com.

Not necessarily. Back in the day when I was too poor to have my oil changed, I let it go for 9k. One month I kept putting off checking it when I filled up since I usually get myself into a hurry when it's 10 degrees outside. My car wouldn't go into VTEC, which prompted me to check the oil... which was 2ish quarts low Added a couple quarts and it drove fine... my oil light never even flickered.
