Default VTEC- hard sometimes, sometimes not so hard

This isn't a "vtec mia" post. I've been driving wih an h22 only for a week so I'm still getting used to things. I've noticed that sometimes the crossover into vtec is really aparent, sometimes its more subtle. How come?

it depends on the climate conditions, up or downhill, or flat, gear, traction...

you will notice vtec more in lower gears with more load on the motor, aka going uphill....

if you launch off downhill you notice it less....

in my stock 93 vtec it was hard to notice....

now i cant miss it....lol
