actually vtecnology has a point. if the vtec cam profiles were on all the time there would be a significant loss in low end torque. ask anyone with a high lift/duration cam in their car that doesn't have vtec. hell, drive mine.

a vtec controller changes the point at which vtec engages. but if you must, you can put vtec to a toggle switch. all you have to do is give constant power to the vtec solenoid i believe.
