A while ago, I tried going into vtec (accelerating in first until ~8000 rpm), but I didn't really feel VTEC at all. It wasn't bogging or anything, but I couldn't feel a noticeable surge in power or sound for that matter. It felt like a linear increase in power, but no surge that I hear people talking about.
I checked the forums, and people said that it is mostly due to oil starvation, but I had only recently done an oil change with Mobil 1 synthetic. Can anyone please pitch in on what the problem could be? My car is a bone stock AP1. Thanks.

Just an idea.

So after you start rolling in first gear (2.5K-3K RPM) and push the throttle completely in, there is no abrupt acceleration at 6K?
If you are casually accelerating (partial throttle) and go past 6K there is just the linear acceleration that you are talking about.
