Turn up your Flux Capacitor.

Also, check the muffler bearings. =P

your headlight fluid needs changed, oh and you could remove the gears for Reverse to save some weight.

Wow, if you dont even know what a flux capacitor is, then your best bet is to start off by adjusting the womulator shaft for reduced bearing strain under load which should help unlock alot of power in vtec.

its right next to your vtec fluid resivor accumulator and dry sump system.

check the internal transducer for excessive shaft play.

The man is a good sport...gotta give him that. You could feasibly put adjustable cam gears on the engine and take it to a dyno and tune it....I've seen it done...it helps a little...but not much...it won't make your (haha) vtec any better but it might improve your HP and TQ a tiny bit.

Nononono, this was a big joke, we were all fooling on you.

If you seriously want to get a little more in vtec, try getting an adjustable cam gear (I assume you are rocking a d-series), and play with the cam timing a bit. Adjusting one way ( I believe retarding ) will give you a little more low-end torque and you'll lose a little up top. While on the other hand, by advancing ( Again, not sure, someone can confirm) will lose you a little power down low, but you should gain a very small increase up top.
