interesting.
Now, i'm really not knowledgeable on the subject.
But my 00 Si, when i push it, yeah, shit gets louder, but I dont necessarily "feel" VTEC. granted this is the first honda i've driven.
Its all stock. It just seems weird, because everyone always talks about how VTEC is just so fucking crazy when it hits because you hear it like crazy and you feel the power....honestly, i dont see what they mean. Maybe i need to get in a non VTEC civic and try it out to compare.
or maybe im just used to it. I'll try to notice it...and yeah its loud past 5000 or whatever but not to the degree everyone always makes it seem

this is odd, everyone has different opinions, yes. however i have a short ram on my del sol, and when it had the Z6 motor in it, you could definetly hear a bit of a difference in the motor, not that much pull to it though. however i recently swapped in a b16a2 from a 00 SI and i dunno, this motor kicks fuckin ass, when v tec hits, it growls loud as hell, you can feel it pull and then the tires start spinning, and i got new low profiles on there too. it really screams, and i couldnt even begin to compare the differnce of sohc v tec and dohc v tec, my car f'n pulls, and its bone stock right now aswell, except the short ram from ractive. this motor is kinda cool too cause with this intake, it hisses when you are shifting, it sounds like a mini blow off valve! lol
it didnt make that sound with the z6.
p.s. i havent even tuned the thing yet, not even adjusted my ignition timing on the dizzy! waiting till the car is back on the road in spring to do all that!
