The torque dip is there to remind us of how Vtec feels.

Keeping the RPM's above the dip DURING ACCELERATION is hardly wringing out the engine unless you're redlining it every shift. You don't need to redline every shift to get a decent performance out of this engine. And you'll only feel the dip when you're accelerating. Once you get to the speed you like, upshift to an overdrive gear to take advantage of the good fuel economy this engine provides. Drop down a gear or two when it's time to accelerate again. It's not that difficult and only takes a half a second to perform. Besides, it's way more fun to drive these cars when you're making use of the entire power band. |

Torque dip or not you will still have to wring it out to stay up with traffic. Until there is a bend in the road and everyone freaks out and slows dow to 20.

Header and tune makes the Powerband feel more usable to me. Levels out the character of the engine.
Mainly for everyday situations where you use 1-2-3 gears to get up to speed and you aren't redlining every shift. If you have the engine living above 5000rpm I don't find that it feels much quicker. |

Hah! That’s what my buddy with an s2000 says when he drives my car. It’s like there’s a vtec crossover at 4500 rpm.

Take this car are a good twisty road and the torque dip is irrelevant. That’s where this car shines.

I honestly have no idea how anyone can think this car "cannot keep up with traffic" unless said traffic comprises of nothing but cars with over 300 hp and using all 300 horses on a daily basis at all times. |
