RE: VTEC....
I recommend you look at this snippet from the Honda Motors manual. Pay special attention to the torque curves, and you will know why VTEC engages at 5500 RPM and not at a lower speed.

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.
