Re: thoughts on vtec
well... what i do know is that people praise vtec left and right, but i just dont get it. sure its good for when you throw the hammer down every now and then to pass up the usual idiot, but i just dont get why people specifically get vtec heads. they are looking for a performance upgrade, so why dont they just get performance cams? i can understand teh heads are a lil different, but still...

They aren't that much more expensive (unless you're talking b-series), and have more potential. If I was boosting a B on a budget, probably wouldn't ---- with it. But it's definitely an improvement, so might as well get it. |

You need a vtec head for vtec, and vtec is better than non-vtec. It's not a blow your pants off difference, but it's a definite improvement. |
Re: thoughts on vtec
vtec is just another thing to get fucked up to me, another batch of cells to tune and another reason for new tires every 2 months you got to love the wastegate opening and at 4500 then hearing vtec crack open at 5. over all people do think its greater than it is tons of cars have variable valve timing
