Hey just out of interest on my SOHC VTEC D16y8, VTEC engages at 5600RPM, (Redline at 7000RPM). My power curve is extremly linear. There is no "Kick". And I can't feel the low-cam start to die out before VTEC engages. Seems it is set a relativly good position.

But that could be because it is a SOHC .
