Default VTEC Question

I got this 95 Accord EX Vtec and it has a high mileage 160K and I'm not even sure if the Vtec is still working and I have no clue what so ever what to look for or hear.

What to look or hear to make sure the Vtec still works.

Thanks

Oh man, when Vtec kicks in you should be slammed into your seat so hard you can't even move your head, reaching up to grab the steering wheel will be impossible. Speedo will go from 40 mph to 120 mph in the blink of an eye.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Damn I'm funny I really crack me up.

Sometimes it is hard to tell when the Vtec engages, though I have seen people wire in a light to the solenoid.
The cams aren't as radical as they were in the first years of the Civic Vtec
Here is some info to help you understand the Vtec system better;
