Hyper-X, your rabbit is basically the same as our Golf GTI in MK1 trim. So i am ssuming that you also ran the K-jetronic fuel injection system. This injection system run absolutely horribly with lumpy cams. The pulses that interact and cancel eachother out in teh plenham play havoc with the metering flap, leading to a very rough idle. And when you floor it, you get a momentary drop as the plenham equalises and the metering flap drops to near nothing. THis bogs the engine as it has to get air mass moving to lift teh flap, but it needs rpm to do this and it cant gain rpm without fuel.

All this info on this forum is good info. Its funny cause yesterday I went to an auto store to replace my blue shifter nob thats in my FR S2K. Why the previous owner had a Blue shifter in a red car 
...
Anyways the guy in the store said that he had a 00 S2k.
I'm new to Hawaii and when I heard he owned a S2K I was like cool I can get some great advice.....
but the next thing he said blew my mind. He said his vtec kicked in at around 3000 RPM and I was like hummmm....that would be cool... What did you do to your car?? He told me that It was bone stock and that if my car is hitting vtec around 6000 RPM that I should take my car in and get it checked out. After hearing that I was mad that the first S2K owner that I met was an Idiot. I shouldn't have bought the shifter from the store but since I really needed to get rid of the blue one I couldn't resist...Just thought I would let everyone know that If you owned a 2000 S2K and you were clueless that you might be able to trick yourself into thinking that your car runs vtec at 3000 RPM and be as happy and proud of it as he was..
