mines at 4400 and seems to be good because it gradually accelerates not jolts when it was at 5500. I dont know i guess its what you prefer, thats just me.

Re: (steronz)
5200 is awesome....There is no kickback or too much movement.....It's just a click....*exhaust sounds beefer* and then you feel the difference especially when you've gone from not having it to SUDDENLY having it....
5200 *stock* is good.

dyno tune it and find out when you should have it change over for the best possible curve and power

stock for what?
so my 5500 should be fine not really going to get my car any faster from changing it untill i can make it to a dyno right?

Why would you want it any lower than 5800 Vtec like the stock b16b with the CTR cams?? Isnt that stock? Whats wrong with 5800? Why are so many people saying 5100--5300; Do you guys actually have ctr cams or are you just agreeing? Please explain more about this.
