Many thanks for the advice.

Just thought it might fatten up the lower rev range. The trouble with No2 is that its used too quickly, and I like long lasting fun

I would go for a supercharger kit if reasonably priced. I currently run a supercharged car and the linearity of power is superb, and it's instant. Used to love the under bonnet shot (and sound) of the blower in Mad Max, as he engages the drive belt and it spins up - sad eh!

Understand that there is a rechip available which lowers the RPM at which the valve timing changes, so giving more stomp lower in the rev range.

My question, is it worthwhile or true??

Advice appreciated.
Lowering the Vtec cam changeover seems to have little effect. The Apexi combine Vtec/Fuel controllers seem to help in combination with other mods - but the ECU seems to be able to 'learn' removing the effect of the V-AFC below Vtec. Once in Vtec the emissions protection from the ECU is stopped, so any remapping works.

For low down torque increases it's either headers (Mugen for example) or forced induction - Turbo or Super Charger.
