Got picked on...

Well im comming home from a kickback and i am minding my own bussiness. I stop at a stop light and this white grandprix GT pulls up next to me... he stops then goes up a little bit, hinting to me he wants a peice of me... so i say sure... (it just rained like 2:30 hours before this) well the light turns green and i floor it... i get a good start, since i have 225 tread, and i am spinning my tires still(i have a auto) i look in my mirror and he isn't going anywhere, he is spinning his rear tires, dum ass, well as i am spinning i hit v-tec and it kicks in nasty ever since i got my v-afc put in... it slowly climbs then once i hit v-tc, bamp, its like i have a turbo all the way to red line. so i get traction and go, he stays behind me the whole time... i stay in front untill 60mph and slow down, he gives me a flyby. this whole time a green intrepid is behind me, and pulls up next to me and paces me for a sec. i floor it and it slowly goes up to my preset 4800 v-tec point, and i stay with him, as we come up to a intersection this car come right infront of me so i slow down very quiclk, and the intrepid puts on his emergency lights like he won me. i was like WTF, but i had to get on the freeway...


ever since i got my v-afc, my car gots some big balls, before my v-tec was shitty, now it pulls nasty

Yep, it's true...the V-AFC does work for our cars. Also, the VTEC kicks in hard at anything above 4.5k, and it feels like a DOHC VTEC.

It won't make you as fast a DOHC VTEC, but the VTEC will engage like a DOHC. Actually it kicks in harder then a stock SI, or a nearly stock SI.

The reason being though, is the car is being starved for air, so when the cam changes over you get a n ice boost in horsepower. Basically that means that your car is atcually slower, because before VTEC it's being starved and so it loses power, but once it hits VTEC it's making just a smuch horsepower as it did before.
