What wud a vtec be like without vtec and a charger instead etc
There's actually top end conversion a lot of people do in DC2 tegs doing away with vtec for some mental Skunk2 cams IIRC, they're stronger for torque across the range, make the power earlier but lose a chunk of revs.

So vtec engines are just as good without their 'power enhancing device'

Throw in the old chesnut Honda have never had a warranty failure on their millions of produced engines... I think they hype behind the vtec is justified.
