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.
