That topic is widely debated, becuse it depends on your RPM and if you hit WOT, plus there's two different things: the i and the VTEC... but in the grand scheme, its something really hard to notice, and Honda intended it that way.... schmooooove baybay....

and the VTC is variable based on your throttle load.

The k20a2 is not available in the USDM EP3, so what you said is essentially worthless.
