VVT gives you just that, variable valve timing. It may help compromise when running outside port and intake tuning, but does not simply trump it. Hog out huge ports and put a large diameter short runner intake manifold on it and try to make low end torque by manipulating valve timing and lift. Its not going to be all there due to the tuning characteristics of the intake (plus 1000 other variables).
