And just to add to that...Do some research on his motor... D17A2. As in SOHC 1.7ltr VTEC-E...Know what that E stands for? Efficiency...Not to be confused with a DOHC Si performance motor.

Here's a simple little link for yas to checkout what it says about the Civic VTEC...

Here's a quik example of what I want u to read..
"The Civic HX, for example is really a VTEC-E (Efficiency), and is tuned for outstanding gas mileage. As the years progressed, Honda decided to tune a VTEC engine to be somewhere in the middle: both efficient and relatively powerful. This "mixed" VTEC is the one that has found it's way into the Accords, some Civics, and the Acura CL. Most VTECs are SOHC (or "Single Over Head Camshaft"), only the DOHC ("Dual Over Head Camshaft") VTEC engines are truly tuned for maximum performance."

Oh me oh my.........
