Very nice, typical B16 curve I see. Max torque around 8000 and max power at 8500. I think it will be a dream to drive.

If you ever want to get even more power I can only give 2 recommendations, B16B cams and a 4-1 or tri-y header. Will especially provide more torque in the non-VTEC part is my guess. But still, I can imagine you don;t need to have it faster than this :).

thanks for your nice words,guys
the torgue curve would be better, with a rebuild and a skunk/itr intake malifold
future plans are jdm b18c or forged b20z with a tri-y, 70mm exhaust and skunk pro cams

The torque curve just keeps climbing and climbing! Super Honda! I'm happy for your results.
