Dont touch your VAFC. Go get it tuned if you want it touched.

as everyone else says...just leave it were honda put it. But if you "really" want to change it, 45k or 50k is pretty good.

4800 RPM is about right for a Z6, and 5200 RPM is about right for a Y8.

Re: whats a good rpm to set vtec? (andersen)

sorry to steal the thread but what about a chip in your ecu? I am looking at a chipped p28 for my b16. vtec at is at 5100. I have I/H/E, so is that a good rpm for me?

I've moved my x-over on a chipped p28 (stock maps). I went from 5200 to 4800 to allow for a smoother x-over since my tires used to break loose on the cross over in 2nd. +-500 rpms and you'll be fine, but I wouldn't recommend moving it any more than that (and leave it at stock unless you have a real reason to move it).
