Default mini-me help

i have a mini-me swap with a D16z6 head, with a CX block and tranny. The gear ratio's are long. I can stay in 2nd gear up to 85mph!!!!! When i shift, it drops out of VTEC, drops bact to 4000rpm. VTEC dont hit until 5500rpm. I just recently brought a VAFC II, i was wondering would it be a good idea to set VTEC at 4k or buying an EX/Si tranny, then setting the VAFC II. Need help guys, thankz

ditch the hack, and get a chipped ecu.

you will need a ex/si trans.

if you set vtec down that low in a single cam, the motor will run like poo till 5k anyway.
