Re: redline and vtec point on lsvtec (bOOsTiNSoHcVtEc)
*A dyno will be needed to figure both of these accurately but, I can give you my .02*
1) GSR cams vtec @ 4700
2) I would set the limiter @ no higher than 8K due to the stock B18b bottom end(power won't be made much higher anyway). You'd be pissed if a rod bolt said, "peace out". So, be smart and safe.

Re: (bOOsTiNSoHcVtEc)
i'm going to be putting my ls/vtec turbo on the dyno soon, adding a turbo extends the torque/hp range but i'm still planning on cutting it off around the 7800-8000 rpm range. I'll be engaging vtec some where between 4300-4700 rpms depending on the dyno results. if you engage vtec too early you'll actually drop in hp before it pics back up

Because the low cam lobe will start to fall off(power) a little before that point.
