@nighequalizer1 np man. If you happen to have an auto vtec SOHC like mine, what you should do is get a full exhaust. Do your air-care then remove your catalytic converter and get a mechanic to weld on a straight pipe. Get some nice 4-2-1 headers ( DC sports if possible ) and a good intake manifold. For your air intake, get an AEM cold air intake ( the long ones ) then lastly, ask around about shaving down ur engine ports ( where your ports meet ur headers i believe )
@nighequalizer1 also keep in mind that better vtec engine have higher red-line limits so keep at least a 3000-3000-4000 rpm gap between the crossover point and the red-line.
SO if you have a hypo vtec that red-lines at 9200RPM set ur vtec at like 5500-6000 rpm's
@nighequalizer1 you can get a stage-3 power surge cord with 02 sensor and a stage-3 performance chip. These are upgrades to increase acceleration and torque without having to upgrade the ECU. For the vtec crossover point I would set it around 5000 RPM. u don't want it to kick in too early or you waste all your mid range power and not too late either. But, with an auto-sohc your not going to pull much more out of your engine but you can eliminate air restrictions for crisper acceleration.
if you adjust an automatic vtec correctly you can get it to act like a manual. the only difference, its still a bit slower, the shifting is perfect every time and you don't reach peak torque across RPM's in each gear as quickly unless u chip and wire it. My auto vtec si climbs pretty quickly too and I still have stock headers and intake manifold.

@streamstruck Question when you say chip an wire, what does wiring included? and if you chip it what would you set your vtec at?

what year and what size engine are you running at the that automatic transmission?

If its not auto, then why the long ass gears???

u have a chipped ecu? if so then i'll believe it automatic... if not its manual
