To put it in perspective, this is what I am running


gear 1 comp : 0
gear 2 comp : -25
gear 3 comp : -50
4 : -50
5 : -100

If you set the gear comp to -100, it will induce a large amount of negative timing, which will cause hesitation and stumbling in lower gears, but this hesitation in higher gears is wanted, and it will make it less jerky when you get on and off the gas.
So I should put what you have in the gear comp ignition tables?
 
Go to parameters, Gear Comp, TPS Ignition retard

Those are the values I was talking about
Im thinking it is the cam angles as well, because from 0 to 35 degrees of cam angle is a really aggressive change. We tuned for air fuels last night and had it at 13.0-13.5 at WOT from 2500-7500(redline). So fuel should be ok.
 
Also, are you sure its sputtering and bogging?

Vtec killers are notorious for horrible low end, the car is pretty much dead below 2500rpm

As long as its not bucking back and forth, or making popping/sputtering noises and losing power completely, I would say it might be normal

It is bucking back and forth the low end of each gear.
 
How total miles do you do with this set up now?
I want to figure if its realy reliable because always run on big lobe let me think that the valves springs will suffer or the retainer and keeper.

Thx for more info
