Default Vtec kicks but no Power...

When my d16z6 Vtec kicks at 5100 it gets loud, but doesn't go any faster. Any ideas where to start? I have Intake, Header, Exhaust, 68mm TB.

lol. You're not going to "feel" it.

68mm TB does nothing for you. Stock intake manifold has a 56mm hole. You can put a 100mm TB on and it won't matter. If you installed an aftermarket intake manifold, your throttle reponse is going to take a ****.

Boost the motor, otr swap it if you want power. This is the 5th time I have said this in the past week or so, D series will not make much power with just bolt ons.

^^Found your problem... ...stock D16Z6. Bolt-ons do not have a great effect on that motor because Honda did there homework and made it pretty darn efficient from the get-go.
