When does Vtec kick in on 2003 V-6 6-Spd

I just became the proud owner of a 2003 V6 Accord with the six-speed manual transmission. It comes with a Vtec 3.0 engine. I was wondering if anyone knew when it kicks in for these cars.

broken in?? uh ohh:P

what if I went nuts with this beast before breaking it in?
what are the tell tale signs that I f*** it up?
The only thing weird with my 6-speed (to me anyway) is that it tends to pull to the right at pick-up speeds (right after shifts).
This baby is fast and Im still learning to drive it.
I keep chirping the tires from 1st to 2nd (almost intentional now) which Im sure is not a good thing:P

thats just torque steer. When accel fast youre gonna get a little of that, but its so much less than like a gt stang. The torque steer on my friends gt is crazy hard to control.
