vtec is definitely hitting at 6k both connected and disconnected, it would be pretty obvious if it wasn't. just to do a test on the performance i ran it at the track with the wire disconnected and connected and ran 14.6 each time. I talked with the dealership today and the mechanic said the only reason he could possibly think of someone disconnecting that wire is that maybe it would give the ecu a false oil pressure reading enabling vtec to hit harder. I dont know how true that is since it does the same thing either way.

I agree with Secret AP1. You must have something else disconnected. What you are describing sounds pretty supernatural (like a stereo that runs without any power). The VTEC Solenoid is not a sensor, it is a mechanical device that locks in the VTEC cam lobes.
