How would that hurt? You can't hit vtec as your launching can you?

well i guess the more power you have to wheels...the harder it is for your tires to get traction. I love these tires...it just seems like i get nervous at the line and instead of feathering the clutch i just completely let go of it not meaning to.

I have a weird question. I have the reflash. If I launch at 5500 which is the rev limiter when you are stopped would I automatically take off in VTEC since VTEC starts at 4500rpms? I havent tried it so im asking.

yes vtec kick in right away. i have a friend with an 04 EP3 with a K20a2 swap including a k-pro with the vtec lowered to 4k rpm, he launch at 6krpm and as soon as he take off, vtec kick in already the whole time. but he used drag radial tires and he has stage 3 clutch, so i don't recommend you trying this with street tires and stock clutch because you'll just burn out til red-line and screw up your clutch
