both of u guys sound like burn outs. if u need 10, let alone 20 pounds of boost to keep up with vtec, then there's something wrong with your tune 
ya variable valve timing isn't a big deal although several major car manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with their own, albeit inferior, variations of vtec.

Rep Power: 690 Does VTEC enable the car to last longer? That's arguable- there are no quantitative tests to actually determine that.
What you just sound represents performance and fuel efficiency, not reliability.

reliability in the sense that u get the benefit of a more aggressive cam profile without all the bullshit that goes with it... sloppy idle, poor fuel efficiency etc etc... maybe reliability isn't the best term... drivability maybe? i made a new word... go me go! anyhow, u get the gist.

What he's trying to say is that variable valve timing is a good way to add power without having to sacrifice much engine life. Thats why pretty much every car company uses it, even the new MR2's.
