RE: VTEC question....
Well since your engine and wheels are physically tied together, you'll car will hit 110 at 3600 rpm in that gear, Vtec or not. But the wisdom of hitting 110 in an American highway...isn't the best idea.

RE: VTEC question....
Don't know exactly, VTEC should have already kicked in if you're going that fast. VTEC usually kicks in on the higher rpms (5rpm+).

1st, what kind of car does this guy even have? VTEC doesnt kick on 5k unless you have an H22. other than that, it kicks in around 4k on 5th gens.
2nd, why in the world would you have to think you have to go 110mph in order for vtec to engage? try 1st and 2nd to test your vtec
3rd, no unless you have an H22, you will normally NOT feel the vtec engage, its sort of "non-performance" kind for most Hondas.
4th, this thread is retarded.

RE: VTEC question....
VTEC can kick in over a wide range of RPM's. The only way to know for sure is install a VTEC indicator light. Here's a DIY: http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/s...ndicator+light
It costs less than $30. The thread has some links to videos of one installed showing vtec as low as 2300 rpms.
As mentioned above, you are not going to be able to tell when it kicks in if you have a SOHC.
