vtec isnt all that great, plus its easy to tune without it and a little bit cheaper. And when your making 300hp, im pretty sure it doesnt matter when vtec kicks in, cause honestly to this day i still cant feel it "kick" in.

You won't feel it kick in if it's working correctly; that's the point. Besides, on a single-slammer, you can barely even hear it engage, and you have to listen for it to hear it at that. As for the facts, if two engines are built exactly the same, one with vtec, one without, the vtec engine will make more power than the one without thanks to the different cam profiles. As far as it being worth to convert it if you're going to be at 300whp regardless, no; it's just extra money.
