Regardless of marketing, VTEC really only exists for fuel economy.
The same peak power can be made by just using the high cam profile at all times, rather than just at certain RPMs. VTEC simply allows an economical cam profile at low RPMs and high profile at high RPMs
The ricer kids don't like it when you point that out though...
