Default b16 vtec not hitting hard anymore??

I just put on new ngk plugs/wires, cap and rotor, and adjusted the timing... NO codes, but the vtec just doesnt seem to hit too hard. What else is there to look at?

1. are the plugs gapped?

2. timing may be a bit off?

3. got enough oil pressure?

Plugs are gapped, i did the timing, and i dont have an oil light on, so i should be good. I just fixed a leak on the vtec solenoid, which was my only leak

Check your oil, make sure it is to the top mark on the dip stick. What weight oil are you running? Your engine also needs to be at proper operating temperature for the Vtec to function properly.
