But, it does mean your going to have a better efficient gas miliage on the freeway. My vtec kicks in at about 4900 and That's just at 80mph. That's just about the average speed on the highway around my house. I know for a fact that vtec doesnt allow you to have great gas mileage. Thats why I'm going to raise it to 5200 by mr. DrDisco69 himself haha

that worked for ur situation...but everyones setup is not the same...what kinda tranny r u running...i had a y1 on my b16 ef and i was at 4400 all day long at 80 mph...on 195/50/15 tires...but yeah i can imagine it must be pretty annoying to fall in n out of vtec while just driving....i had mine set at 6k though..but that was with the old cams...its at 7k now
