I'll save you some reading with a clip from that link by sacicons:
basically its set at that RPM for a reason, hundreds of thousands of dollars has gone into research for that set RPM, if you are near stock I doubt you will do any better. With some fuel tuning and power mods a lower vtec point might come in handy but not near stock with a few minor mods.

if you dont know how to run it, forget it. the power gains on a mostly stock car are next to nothing, and chances are youll hurt power more than help it. spend the money on bolt-ons for now, then once you have a bunch of stuff done, you can start thinking about a controller of some sort.

RE: VTEC....
without the correct mods to support it you will loose power changing the point vtec kicks in. Honda knows what they are doing and set it correctly from the factory, you swapping it around is like saying honda dont know how to tune their own cars which is false being that Honda more so than anyone with such a mass market tunes about every lil bit they can out of their engines. This is why bolt ons dont do to awful much for honda's because everything from the airbox to the exhaust is ment to extract all it can out of the engine.
