www.howstuffworks.com search for VTEC.

Why go through the expensive and hassle for maybe 5 horsepower?

Seriously dude, do some research. You need to know how this stuff works before you start throwing stuff on and blowing up your engine

You could do a sleeper turbo setup, do know about smog checks though. I highly doubt you'd pass.

Check this out, don't know if it's been shown on here before:

do some research first, it doesn't sound like you have a firm grasp on what either of these do. you also need to set a goal of what type of performance you are hoping to get.
