Lots of people share diffrent views on vtec chip u have ur view and think you are right and I have mine. I know how vtec works. And I have a good friend who has vtec controller on his car to have vtec come in earlier. It is all about the engine oil pressure. Never denyed they are good engine and very well desinged but like I keep sayin I personally and my personal opion I think they are overrated for what they actually are and they have a device that makes them rev higher and for longer hence giving it more go. In a totally diffrent way to forced induction, but still gives vtec a power advance over other engine. Ie vvt, vvti,vtec.turbo.supercharger, are all types of giving and engine more power
