Default 2006 so noon

Hey every one I just got my new/used car and I must say. Wow I am in love!! I used to drive a 95 ex coupe... Talk about an up grade LOL. Now here is my noob question. Ok vtec...should I be hitting it in first? Compared to my dx it seems like the si just wants me to rip it all the time. How often do you hear the vtec roar? flame away nothing can bring me down. On my iPod so the title is messed up

u can hit vtec in all gears, but 6th.
but for fuel efficiency and the sake and sanity of people around you,
we dont recommend you hitting it all the time.

Pppfff. Screw that....that's my road rage tactic. Down-shift and time it just right to pop right into vtec just as i'm passing the rolled-down window of the idiot in front of me that's doing 45mph in the fast lane of the highway.

Scares the hell out of them every time!

I do not believe the 2006 has a governor, at least if they did, it was removed when they reflashed my ECU for the supercharger. With the supercharger, I no longer have a "Vtec" pull (cam's change at 3,500 rpm), but at the same time, I don't seem to have a speed governor either.

the speedo changes with the push of one buttom and the conversion is approx 1 mile=1.6 kilometers. so multiply it by .6 and you get approx 133ish.

I assume you did this on a Dyno? You are not telling us you hit 158mph on the road in a stock SI are you?
