good.........vtec gets better drivability
bad...........having to wire for vtec
ugly............if your wiring looks like crap


i loved my mini me but i love big non vtec cams better. in most instances the cost to do a mini me swap you can get a nice cam and out perform just the head swap. but the sohc vtec heads have a cheaper aftermarket for them.

i didnt notice a massive gain at all...........but all around power increased. its still a nice way to make a little more power and its not very expensive.

ummm changing anything on a stock enigne will have longevity issues.. mini-me is nice but.. you are not gaining alot.. increaced compression and vtec with a better flowing head is nice.. but there is not replacement for displacment.. i am sorry.. useless you have plans on turboing.. your waisting money and time.. plus.. you pull out your mini-me up against ls swap or even jdm d15b swap you would get owned.. but then again it gos back to what you want to do.. plus there will always be pros and cons...
