Um, more hp without all the extra lobes? Sure, you use only the more aggressive profile (the one it switches to when "vtec kicks in"

). Or even something a little more aggressive. Your peak HP will go up, and your low end will get choppy and you'll lose gas mileage.

vtec was the first vvt in a production car I could afford, so it's cool. It's also a brilliant engineering answer to the question: how do I get more power-on-demand, reliability and gas mileage out of a basic gas engine?
