Most people disconnect the vvt. It becomes obsolete after awhile. Most of the extra power in a S14/15 engine comes from a larger turbo.

Just like how superchargers and turbos make VTEC virtually useless since you've got all that top end power coming from forced induction.  Besides, the SR20DET is an easy engine to squeeze power from compared to a Honda engine.  Blah...LS/VTEC, Spoon cam gears, Jun cams, Mugen ECU, etc, etc is a lotta money for n/a tune that produces pretty disappointing results if people want major power. =/

GSRCamel, are you from honda-tech.com? Cuz your name looks familar.
