Default TODA VTEC KILLERS

To all the Honda Motor Co. genious's. Don't really know all too much about the VTEC killers, other than its basicaly a really aggresive lobe design and the obvious "VTEC killer". I have only ever seen them on all-motor B series motors. I am curious as to, would they be a bad combo with a supercharger for the track? (track, not drag strip) or bad combo in general. Or should I go one route or the other..... Any help would be appreciated.

Honda designed VTEC for a reason. Why would you want to bypass it?

You'll lose a lot of mid and low end power, they're designed for max power at high RPM. Not really what you want for anything but drag racing when your RPM band is very narrow.

What if a JR supercharger was added?

So you don't create oil pressure problems.

If thats the case, why go vtec in the first place? Or just disable vtec? Shit, thats easier to do than any other option.

So why not use a non-VTEC motor to start with?
