big cams on a b16 usualy make more power with vtec around 6800...so i might loose power if it was tuned with those cams

Re: vtec crossover too high??

You didn't tell us a lot about the situation or the engine setup...

What is the entire engine setup?
Was the car dyno tuned?
If not... you are really "guessing" as to where the "best" activation point is.
