i guess it works, i have vtec vic, my friends tellme they can hear it when i floor it, like when the timing changes. i havnt really heard it. but i guess feel it from the reving, like at higher revs it engine sounds a lil different and accel seems to speed up a TAD. im not sure what you meant if it would work. or what do you want to compare it to? maybe a vvti? or there types of valve time? or even continouse?

Apexi makes a VAFC and VAFC-II They control your vtec enguagement points and you can remap your fuel by the individual 100rpm's...It is a nice fuel management system but if you do not have any serious mods i wouldn't waste your money...get a cam and then it's worth it...

Your thinking of the SAFC by apexi. You could use the VAFC in the same way, just dont hook up the vtec wires.
