unless you plan on buildin an all motor sohc, i wouldnt do it.

in my eyes, its not worth it. i would jsut save you money up towards suspension mods, or a clutch/flywheel combo

Personally with "just simple bolt ons" its not worth having a Vtec controller.

Nope, just keep saving. If you really want to build a single cam, get a spare block and have that sitting in the garage while you drive your car around right now and build that block as you get money.

IMO, unless you really know what you're doing, you have no reason to be messing with your vtec crossover, regardless of what motor you have. Honda made the crossover where it is for a reason, its not worth the money to buy something to change it when the gains would be minimal anyways.
