Car is probly bogging because it's not tuned. Get some adjustable Cam gears, a fuel tuning device (VAFC or Hondata), and tune it. With stock everything, and untuned, there most likely will be a huge dip in power at the Vtec engaging point. Tuning is very important...

However, I would get I/H/E and some other stuff before tuning it, since tuning cost a good amount of $$$. To tell you the truth, you should've gotten the Cams after you had everything set up.

Yeah your car needs tuning. If you have a vtec controller or something try changing to vtec activation point..
