I guess it doesn't make all that big of a difference as long as my vtec gets lowered to 5400 or lower

Uhhhh what are you talking about? Its for those sharper turns that are second gear turns, or a third gear turn cause you will be too high in second gear, so if you have a lower vtec you can shift less and be quicker cause your in vtec. I dont think you have been to a track have you?
