Ive already ordered the recal kit from Vortech. I called AE but they didn't have them in stock. =)
I ordered an 8:1 It still doesn't explain my (non boost) jerking and flooding of the motor(assumption).
The jerking happends when not under boost.

You still need to trim out some fuel under vacuum,the vafc, 8 to 1 disc and some tunning from john should solve your problems...One other thing are you using check valves on the map sensor or a missing link..If you are not using the missing link I would get one.....

YOUR PROBLEM
YOUR BIGEST PROBLEM IS YOUR TIMING YOU NEVER ADVANCE A BOOST CAR YOUR LUCKY THE MOTOR HASN'T BLOWN UP. AND CHECK YOUR MAP SENSOR ITS NOT WORKING RIGHT. THE FACTORY MAP WILL NOT READ BOOST YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THAT CAR WAS NOT MADE WITH A TURBO.!!!!!!!!!

My MAP reads up to 13psi before getting all freaked out. My timing altho advanced isn't my problem(I don't think). I don't mean to leave it like it is. Im just lazy.
ALSO VTEC will not engage properly which is NOT a timing issue.

timing can cause more problems then youre seeming to think. cam and ignition that is. u also need something for your map sensor. youre right, it will read 13lbs of boost but not on the stock computer. your stock computer will pick it up pretty quick when u hit boost and compensate in its own way which will not feel very good. u need someone who knows what hes doing to look at that thing before your laziness blows up your car. oh and how many lbs of boost are u running. your timing is about 8 degrees off from where it should be. too much boost + too much timing = BOOM!

It's 4 degrees + not 8. Ive had the car @ 14psi before check engine light comes on, with the stock computer. Doesn't seem to adversly effect me at 6psi where Im at now. This is a rebuilt engine with 9:1 pistons. Im not pushing her hard yet, Ive attempted to hit VTEC prolly 5 times. There's no power past 4500, so I don't bother going past there.
I apreciate all your concern but your not reading everything im saying. When the car was @ 7 psi with stock pump and stock injectors and the 12:1 FMU it ran lean (14:1) Lasted until the boost creaped on me(6 months later). I think the SOHC motors are alot stronger then you people believe. Im playing this by ear, and I do listen to what you guys are saying. Im just adding in what your telling me with my own expierences... Also, I will drop the timing down today. Ive just been lazy about it.

If your map sensor is reading boost ie no check vavles or missing link that would explain a big part of your problem.Even though the map is capable of reading boost up to 11 or so psi, the factory computer was never designed too.As soon as the computer reads boost it goes into limp mode.It will reduce the rev limit to about 4000 rpm...Unless you have hondata or some other standalone you must use something to stop the map sensor from seeing boost...
