well, can you install performance chips on hondas? if so, it could raise the vtec engagement point

I think the whole idea would be to lower the VTEC engagement point, so you get the high-cam profile lower in the rpm range. But, now i-VTEC is out, so the V-AFC has no use on newer model Honda's.

More relating to the topic...I once heard someone say they had a NASCAR chip! LOL. Aren't NASCAR's carb'd?

VANOS - intake camshaft phasing
dual VANOS - intake and exhaust camshafts are both variable

Depanding on the model of car and mods done will depand on what you want to do with x-over. On a stock lude you will want to lower the x-over. On a stock camed b18c1 you will leave it alone and on a b18c1 with any after market cams you will need to raise the x-over point. etc....

NASCAR was (maybe still is) carbed but they are going to FI sometime but i am not sure when that is going to happen.
