yeah I dunno. to my knowledge vtec has always been about power. efficient power by allowing 2 camshaft profiles, one for mid range normal driving and the other for power. combined they make the most power and fuel efficiency you can get out of these small motors. but take the vtec out and I believe you will get better mileage. just make sure you have a way of tricking the ECU so your not running the check engine (closed loop) program, or you will have terrible mileage.

I suppose you can make or brake the theory by testing it yourself.
