Your VTEC engages at a certain RPM for a reason: it's most efficient and will create the best power at that RPM.

Don't change it unless you have modifications that warrant such a change (ie. headwork).

vtec controllers are cool but really not worth it... if u would like to find some more out search for vtec controllers. Also u will get mixed opinions but i have one in my hatch and took it out cause i really didnt like it. Plus u have to get it tuned and with no mods done to the car its worthless. Go out and get some bolt ons and headwork done, then think of about the controller

Welcome to small displacement motors.
