Hey wassup guys, #### I HAD A BLAST TONIGHT!! It was the 1st time i have ever drag raced or run my car. LMAO the 1st time i ran i fucked it all up went past the line didn't back up far enough and i never even lit the tree up i just went. LMAO i ran like a 23 sec. run :-P but after that i ran 15's consecutively and my best time was a 15.445 in which im happy with, although i would've liked to seen a 14 it just wasn't goin to happen so i will be back with MORE POWER!!! MUUAHAHAHAHAH :-P O and the best part is i smoked a little ricer dude in his honda del sol, a SLOW ASS v6 mustang, an eagle talon, and i was beating a 2000 prelude all the way down the track unil the very end when that #### VTEC beat me and he pulled ahead in the high mph. BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS A BLAST!!

(not really into Honda's) But is it true that VTEC dumps air into the engine at a certain RPM?
i've always wanted to do either two things at the track:
1) Burnout and take the fuck off WAY before the light even changes.. just bone-out and leave the strip as if I stole the motha...
2) Take a big car down to the strip and have some girls press their booties out the window as I run a 50 second quarter mile while bumping HARD..
Someone'd better do that one day.. they'll be famous, thats for sure. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

correct me if I'm wrong, but does VTEC dump air into the engine at a certain RPM?

all i've heard mostly is that ppl w/ vtec said it kicks in at higher rpm's n higher speeds i guess.

There are two camshaft profiles on a VTEC motor. At a certain RPM, the motor switches to the other camshaft profile. This is done by the ECU using oil pressure to actuate pins to couple the rocker arms together from the low RPM profile and the high RPM profile.

s14vaxlr8 i/h/e??? I don't follow??
For real!! LOL It was very addicting after several runs i said i was goin to leave but then as i started out i just some how turned back into the line ... JUST ONE MORE TIME WOULDN'T HURT!! :-P Plus, my gf was riding with me and she kept on wanting to go again ... lol finally i had to leave cause i had barely enough gas to make it back home.
My performance mods r Injen CAI, CAE, Hotshot header, custom exhaust from a local shop, & Ractive muffler. Plus, i was on normal street tires that would not warm up cause it was cold as balls out last night.
FINALLY, #### have u peeps never driven a honda?? VTEC is pretty impressive it reminds me almost exactly of a turbo car. Lag at first then throws u back.
