Also like I said when this problem happened before it was because my oil level was low or my air filter was dirty and that fixed the problem... I did those things and even replace the vtec solenoid screen and gasket and still nothing

Check compression, plug gap, valve lash, make sure brakes aren't dragging, poor alignment/tire wear, etc. Ambient temperature will make the car behave very differently

You think tires could be the issue because they are a hard surface tire and the are starting to slip during take off...

The clutch should have a little play at the top so you know the master cylinder is releasing all the way.I think that makes sense?

You aren't feeling VTEC bang at 5500 rpms because the switchover point is 6000 rpms, lol.

But honestly, a smooth VTEC engagement simply means the low rpm cam profile is making more power at it's high end compared to before, a hard engagement point only means the low rpm cam profile has landed flat on its face well before the changeover point. It's all psychological, tricking you into thinking you were making more power before. When I changed my exhaust my VTEC engagement was smoothed over, which was good. I don't know what caused your difference but I am pretty sure it is for the better. Still plan on swapping out those plugs though.
