h22 vtec engagement at 5900rpm way to late?
my buddys 2.2 swapped civic running a chipped p28 is hitting vtec at 5900rpms, im telling him thats way to late as hes got to shift at 8000rpm. I told him to lower it to about 4900rpm and the car will be alot faster imo, what do you guys think, will it affect 1/4 times?

Redlines at 8000 and vtec engages at 5900? I say set it to about the GSR vtec engagement which is 4500-4700, I think. Anybody know for sure ? 
But. Set it to about 4500 IMO!

you want the secoundaries to open at the same time as vtec, its good for 3lbs of tq. ive tested mine a bunch of times, 4700 is the sweet spot for my nearly stock setup.

isn't it that when vtec kicks in at a later rpm it gets more oil pressure therefore it "hits" harder?

Re: (deanBUG)
the "Ideal" vtec engaugement should not really be felt, you should only hear it. this is whats archived and said by the pros, i personally disagree.
where Hp and Tq curves cross is where vtec needs to be.

You need to put it on a dyno and see when you power starts to drop off when you power without vtec starts to drop off is where you set you vtec to engage. I have a vtec controlle I will sell for 25 shipped if you want. I VTEC hit hard thats not good. When you look at you dyno print out it should be a steady increase not a peak.
