Naveed - how many miles are on your car? Does it start off a little rough when you are starting from a stand-still? If your car doesn't seem to pull in VTEC it could mean your clutch is on its way out. Mine is 
At higher RPM's your clutch will slip giving the impression that you're not going anywhere. Another way to tell is to put your car on a dyno - if you put out 15 peak horsepower or more less than what you normally would, this is an indication of clutch slipage too.

My car has ~81400 miles... So I think that has something to do with the lack of power. Also, I'm almost sure that the clutch is fine. The feel of the clutch is fine, and Dylan can vouch for the fact that my clutch seems like it bites extra hard, almost as if it were an aftermarket clutch. I wouldn't be surprised if it was, cuz the guy I bought the car from didn't do any mods to it, so it might've been the guy he bought the car from that got a different clutch. The reason I say this is because my clutch is REALLY hard... I felt Dylan's clutch and its a HUGE difference, and actually the first thing he said when he started driving was "WTH is wrong with your clutch man..." 
The car doesn't really pull in VTEC in only 1st and maybe 2nd gear. In 3rd gear you feel a pull, but its just that its not as much as you would feel in a different S, but I'm sure thats because of my heavy 18" wheels. The car felt fine before I got these wheels...so it has got to be these wheels thats making the huge difference.

well the clutch grabs really hard... but there's absolutly no play in the clutch.... it's either engaged or it's not engaged.... and it's pretty stiff, you gotta really push it hard to get it down..
