Bad because it introduces LOTS of valve overlap in stock form. It can be good when the overlap problem is cured. (valve overlap + boost = increased emissions, lower cylinder pressures, less power)

Overlap in a turbo car is bad. LOOONNNNGGGG duration is good.
The reason a stock VTEC cam is better than a stock Non-VTEC cam, is because of the longer duration when on the higher cam profile.
Now if you can get a custom grind Non-VTEC cam with massive duration, you're set.
But then you get into a whole other set of variables because the VTEC head has better flow than an Non-VTEC head.
