no no no. Never take your foot off the gas!!!!
I start in D1. At 30-35ish, D2. At 80ish, D3. At 115ish, D4.
You'll find the rev limiter, so don't shit your pants.
D4 is fine for daily cruising while drinking coffee. Your car will shift by itself at about 6200 rpms. Later on, you can get the proper TCU if you wish.
Oh, the downfall is that your car will NOT grab first gear on a downshift unless you are below 30 mph. This means a 35 mph rolling start race will fuck you. You will be out of VTEC in second, and you can't grab first unless you slow down. That=teh suck.
A 29 mph first gear drop will give you a nice snap, so be ready to shift.
Never start in D2. Start in D1,D3,or D4. D2 is like saying you want to start in second gear. The tranny just holds that gear until you shift up or down.
