Default B20 Help!

heres the DL, 91 honda CRX Si, with a b20b and a ls trans. im currently running a p28 in it until my chip arrives. but any how, its got new fuel filter, thermostat and plugs but the radiator could possibly be bad (scorching hot at top and just hot at the botton). but when you go down the road its like a slugg, the sucker drives but it feels like its in like a limp mode or something, it just doesnt have any pep to its step? will the p28 cause this or can a bad radiator have a effect on this? thanks

Sounds to me like the radiator is doing it's job. Hot coolant comes out of the engine and to the top of the radiator then the radiator cools it and comes out of the bottom and back to the engine.

ok well will running a vtec p28 have a major affect on the performance of the motor. i know the cel will come on but i thought atleast until vtec the sucker should sorta function like an ls which should be something a b20 runs relatively strong on-

Chipped for what and any idea what a "skunk2" program means?

Your ecu is probably the culprit in this case.
