the apexi afc neo would allow you to do that. although enabling vtec to engage at a lower rpm would not be good for your engine. gurus, correct me if im wrong.

the AFC would help you get better HP and TQ from your newly added mods. the point that vtec engages at is set by the factory at the optimum point for performance on a stock engine. you may need to change the point since you have mods now but how much or where? not sure at all.
