Vtec engagement should be smooth, not hard. lol

Chipped ECU will not really help you. Pick up something worthwhile, like a Hondata system to be able to actually tune the car, not throwing in a chip which basically acts as a resistor and adds fuel in the upper rpms. Also, with a chip, you have no idea what is going on.. since you didn't make the tune. Good luck.

Sounds like you need to research a little more. I can guarantee that this question has been asked over 1,000 times when you combine all of the Honda forums on the interwebs.

Were the other VTEC cars you have driven SOHC, or DOHC? Singles are much more subtle.
