Civic2Scooby, do you think that the Mugen chip I am buying will work while I wait for the time to get the Hondata S200 ECU and have it dyno'd? I know that the skunk2 cam gears are adjustable, I just have to find time to get it to the shop in L.A.
By the way, thanx for the help everyone. I really appreciate everyone's insight.

That extra 800 rpms doesn't seem like much, but it is...

"Mugen Chips" are worthless, and potentially harmful...I would not run any chip in my ecu. Either run the stock p30 ecu until you can get the hondata or get a VAFC/Hondaata/whatever now and get it tuned. There is no use having a nice set of cams etc if you are gonna half ass it on the tuning/engine management.

And 5800 rpm is normal vtec engagement for a B16.

im thinkin its the driver, if the Vtech is not the issue, proly short shifting like a motha.... dont worry i got beat alot when i first installed my b16 but once i found out that i could puch it alot more i started to notice the rookie driving.

I was a shifter Kart driver for 3 years racing at 180 mph just 2 inches from the ground on the perris speedway and other places. Driving is not the issue at all. I can shift just fine and know to let the motor rev out at 8000 plus rpm's.
