Default VTEC engagement point and Horsepower rating

What are the VTEC engagement points for the F20 and the F22 or are they different from each other? Also, does anyone know why Honda is advertising the current horsepower as 237 opposed to the original 240. Has it always been 237 and marketing rounded it up on the F20?

237hp is the rating under the new system

New rating standards had something to do with it I read. The difference of 3 hp can even vary from dyno to dyno, or dyno types.

AP1's are 6000-6300 depending on throttle position. 5800-6k for AP2's.

Was '06 the first year for 237 to be claimed as the rating or did it start before this? Same with the SAE rating, when did that start?

vtec should be different, since 1 is 2.0 w/ 9k and other is 2.2 w/ 8k.

how so....you get less torque(i KNow not much like 4ft-lbs??) weaker diff(or maybe the housing), granted we get the stupid clutch delay
You may have a tighter suspension, higher red line, but what else would make the AP1 so called "better" than an Ap2? besides you owning one...lol

just my .02
