[&:]thinking about installing a vtec controller, not sure if im going to get my money worth. any takers?

 

leave v-tec alone. the engineers at honda have it set already at the optimum rpm. spend your money on some other kind of performance upgrade.

 

tuned right they will give me some amazing power right?

 

ive read and heard to leave it how honda made it. imo dont mess wit it

 

ive heard the same, jus leave as is, if u really want to go for it, its ur call

 

For the same price or less you can just get a more aggressive cam. Probably an easier install too.

 

yea where is the best place to shop for my 98 civic

I've only heard of two reasonable excuses to change the vtec crossover:
1) If you're running a turbo setup
2) If you have a really, really aggressive cam (Stage II or higher)

otherwise, don't screw with vtec. Honda designed vtec to hit at the best rpm fora stock/slightly modified engine. I agree with Street Sniper... get a more aggressive cam. From what I've read/seen, cams gain anywhere from 10hp up... for a single mod, that's not too shabby (and if you have a sohc, it's only $300 or so).

 

cam's are a pain in the *** to install tho.
