Would it be possible to grind down the "normal" cam lobes on a VTEC head but keep the higher up ones, so it would have near-VX fuel economy on the freeway but still 125+ bhp in the higher rev range? And how hard would it be to lower the VTEC changeover point to, say, 3500rpm?

I seem to remember someone doing something similar but don't know where the thread was, or how much I'd be able to understand. I will talk to some Honda guys around here at some point and see what they have to say.
