Check throttle body
IAC valve
Fast idle valve
Water in valve cover, leave wires off for a night
Change plugs - don't use anything other than NGK - please - I really don't want to explain

Good luck...

50 rpm doesnt seem like much a difference..it usaully idels a bit differntly after a intake install takes place..i dont think the idle thing should be affecting the vtec..check the vtec controller...also try a tank of higher octane gas..it might be running a little lean
