I feel VTEC is not as big a kick in the pants in higher gears compared to lower. Kind of more fun to get into VTEC and then try to keep it there through the gears. Makes you go really really fast though!

I think part of the reason you dont feel the big kick of vtec in the higher gears is because it is already in vtec. I'm pretty sure for the AP2s, that the 1-2 shift drops you below 6K and out of vtec. I think (someone correct me here if I'm wrong) the 2-3 also drops you a hair under vtec. From 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6, the tach stays above 6k-vtec still engaged.

AP2s can stay in VTEC througout all the gears.
