Vics, open = ??? closed = ???
**** off on searching, i couldn't find ****
i know that the vics opens with vac at XXXX rpm. is open short runner or longer runner?
bonus points if you can tell me this
i fucked up and put a vac line that always has vac so my vics was locked open and got my car tuned with it open at all times. with the right vac line going to the vics will it **** up my tune or cause problems? already planning to go drive it and log but want to make sure it's safe first.

Shouldn't **** up the tune, no. The switchover from closed to open happens at ~5k. You want it closed between 1500-2000rpm and 5000rpm, then open to redline. The only thing that may change is a slight leaning out between 2k and 5k, but we're talking 2/10ths of a point.

I wanna say that its at 5200 RPM.
I remeber there was something weird about it,
Either the valve is CLOSED with vacuum, so with a normal solenoid you have to use a window switch set to be on from idle to 5200.
OR
The solenoid is weird and it closes when it gets voltage instead of opens, so you dont need a window switch, just a regular RPM switch...
damn my memory

^ I think I can verify that it does actually idle better with the VICS closed.
I just hooked mine up this weekend. Been running with it open for a week. The idle wasn't really BAD, but the engine did shake a bit more than I really liked. With the VICS being controlled by my Link, it now idles more smoother.
