i dont know bout u other ex rivers but my engine deffinetly pulls aloot harder when vtec is engaged

yeah your right, im driving a dx. nevermind that its built and will walk an ex any day off the week and its about 5-700lbs. lighter, lets just focus on the fact that its a dx. either way i was wrong on the redline, my fault homie. i was just making the point that vtec is not really the biggest deal as far as performance goes. sure it pulls harder after 5500. sure its designed to do that. but in all actuality its just a way to rev higher while maintaining decent gas mileage.

as far as b-series being better then d-series, well no duh. the point i was making there is that vtec is not the end all be all of horsies in a b-series engine. its once again just a means of revving high while keeping your gas mileage up, and keeping the motor from puking its guts on the hwy

and just so there is no further debate on my merits, ive owned a 00 ebp em1 with a b16a2, a 91 rex with a mini-me, and an 89 rex with a fully built ls-vtec. all of these had vtec so i know of what i speak, so not to sound like an ass
