as long as you're vtec is engaging, its fine.

but you can put a intake, bigger tb and port match the IM and get a good valvetrain, it should scream.

what do u mean by "hits harder"? like a sudden jerk when vtec crosses over? i read from somewhere that a smooth trasition during crossover is best.

I guess he meant that other people's VTEC is louder than his...?

Re: (emo-ejcoupe1.6)

If your car was tuned to the optimum, you shouldn't notive the VTEC crossover. The switch from low to high cam profile should be set where the power levels of the two meet afaik

Re: vtec cross over (works909)

If you feel a large difference when the vtec mechanism engages then your car is poorly tuned. If it is more smooth, either it is tuned well or everything is poorly tuned.
