I have a 97' honda civic ex with a 98' 1.6 sohc v-tech engin and a 97' tranny. I would like to know how to get more tork and power out of my second gear, the problem is this POS is an auto trans. would replacing the ecuhelp or is ther other way's?

 

Just for future reference, vtec (no "h") is variable timing, v-tech is a phone, and it's "torque."

Anyway, there are a couple of stickys in the new member area that address this question and might answer a couple of others for you. Check it out.
