However, if the goal is mpg's, I'd NEVER get up into that kind of RPM range I'd think, rendering vtec completely useless really.. plus, the high vtec kick-in doesn't seem very beneficial for a daily commuter as I'd really rather not redline the thing all the time..
1st impressions from a brand spankin' new Si owner, coming from a Subie turbo with a bunch of low-RPM grunt, even prior to the turbo.

Get rid of the silly "VTEC Kick" with Hondata's ECU reflash. This + at least a header will dramatically improve the mid range on the K20Z3.
