If you are going all motor it would be a good choice to go VTEC.

on the contrary, if you're goin all motor, NO-VTEC! In all motor you want everything to be as light, and spin as fast as possible. Vtec adds weight, and only simulates a big cam. Go Non-VTEC and slap a big *** cam on there.

vtec doesn't simulate a big cam, it IS a big cam. with vtec you can keep a stock idle and still have a grip of top end power, so i say vtec. keep in mind that either way is a good route, you just have to build it right.

ive been doing some reading, and some points about non vtec all motor made sense...if you are going to be in vtec all the time when on the strip...why not just run a monster cam and get rid of the dead weight?

ya, vtec killer cams with a constant big lobe would be good if he was doing nothing but racing, but for daily driving i probably wouldn't want it. but yea...makes perfect sense if he was only racing. then again he'd still need a vtec head for those cams wouldn't he?? i wouldnt know since ive never looked into that.
