my vtec comes in at 4200. i picked up 2 1/2 tenths in an 1/8 goin from 5200 to 4200. guess im stupid to. well no not really i just dont care that my bottom end is starving for oil just so i can run 9.95 instead of 10.20(d16a6 w/ z6 head in an 1/8). ive been runnin it like that for 1 1/2 yrs and still cant seem to blow it up.
