AFTER header install- V-TEC transition not as noticable. WHY?
I just installed my SPOON header and now I noticed when I V-TEC; the transition is not as noticable as it was before. Is there something wrong or did the header fill in some midrange and now the hp/tq jump at V-TEC not as high as it was? Any information or opinions are welcome.

R&D,
Yea, I finally got it on. What a pain in the a$$! I wish I had just let ya'll do the work. Do you have a dyno? I'd like to see where I am with my mods before I turbo/SC.
4373,
The braking is better with the extra traction. I don't see a difference in acceleration except for the extra traction. I ran several other S2000 with the same mods(none had a header including me) and I pulled on them everytime.
mingster,
I think your right. The car does feel overall stronger. I know I haven't lost any power like RandyP stated. I just thought that was weird that the v-tec surge was less noticable. Spoon kicks a$$.

take a look at my car's power curve on a dyno:
