Default VTEC at which gear do you feel the most power surge?

Although I never VTEC with 4, 5 or 6 gear, but among 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear, i would say VTEC with 2nd gear made me feel most power.

IMHO, 2nd pulls the hardest (actually 1st does, but as mentioned it goes by too fast) byt 3rd is the most fun b/c of the speed you're at when it pulls...

It's really very simple.

The gears which give the greatest sensation of a surge, is as follows, and in this order.

1 2 3 4 5 6

I think 4th is already negligible. but still a lot of fun.

6th is hardly noticeable aside from the noise!

I did one trip for 4 hours at around 7000rpm in 6th the entire way and was rather surprised at how pleasant the aural experience was. Talking with passengers gets quite difficult at speeds any higher, though.
