OK, lets do this Kindergartden style.

well , W/ a VTEC motor you hav TWO " performanc range cams" in one as if we did'nt already know this>>>
use the low rpm range cam too long and upper mid range and high RPM power dissapear.
use the high rpm cam too early and lower rpm power will be under utilized......
Ok, so you chose not to get my point, thats fine...
I never mentioned 800rpm, for a start. I completely understand that the high(er) lift, long duration profile on the "High" cam lobe in the VTEC set-up will give you terrible performance at low revs and may even give you nice flames out the exhaust....
My question is rather whether the "High" cam is so extreme... Would it really harm output in the MIDRANGE?
Contrary to your statement, there is actually 3 cam lobes per valve in the H22A1, it is the three-stage VTEC engine. Thankyou for your "lesson", and by the way, if you're going to be condescending, learn to spell kindergarten.
