You know.....There were two things not addressed here. Number one, the 2002 Civic SI (which you have) the VTEC kicks in at 2200 rpms, so you don't have a "big boost" around 7,000 rpms.
And just because it doesn't say VTEC doesn't mean it lacks VTEC.
*edit* nevermid, didn't relize he was banned. it took long enough
