B18c1 with no power in vtec
I have a 1999 civic coupe with a gsr swap, rebuilt with integra type r internals, darton sleeves, Skunk 2 stage 2 cams and gears, skunk 2 pro series intake manifold, RC 310 injectors, hollowed cat, and hondata s300. I just had the engine compression tested and it is 240 psi in each cylinder, with like 5 cranks, like it is suppose to be. But the car is only making 140whp, at like 3 grand and as soon as vtec kicks in it hits a wall and drops off, so I am running it with vtec turned off. It was tuned at RT Tuning and Vince the mechanic there thinks it's because of the stock headers, but with real headers and tune he said it will make about 70 more whp. The guys over at Philly Dyno Works think my cams are too big and they said to go with integra type r cams, and headers. What do you think? Thanks
