If VTEC doesn't help boosted applications, then why aren't there more 11 second ZC's... Cause I KNOW there are alot of 11 second B16a's!

Also, I've got ITR cams in my car, with stock cam gears. I've got VTEC set at 6000 and at 1/4 throttle, when it switches to VTEC, my tires break loose, and that's at only 7 PSI.

VTEC helps airflow. Period.

The theory behind VTEC itself doesn't change at all. Valves open sooner and longer and more = more air, which in turn = more power. The only difference is, you want to reduce the overla between the two to tune down any blow-by. But any way you slice it, a turbo, super or any other method of FI only served to amplify what already exists. Yes you can cam a B18B to produce sick top end like a C1, but will it idle and run at low speeds nearly as well as a C1? Not by a long shot... same thing with the turbo, only to a higher degree.

Try not to think of turbo changing anything really, only serving as an amlifier to an engine, might make it a little easier to understand why the whole conspiracy theroy behind "VTEC is bad for turbo" is not true.
