Also it might be a good idea to turn up the boost on your VTEC so you have more horses. That way it will crack super loud and you should be able to chirp the tires all the way through third!

Just be sure that its ground direct to the battery. And also, if you REALLY want to get the most crack out of it, put a vtec controller on it and set it to engage at 3,000 rpms

Be sure to cross drill your break lines before attempting to ground your ported solenoid or no crack.
