Default VTEC Solenoid Question!!!

Well, I have heard rumors of this being true. My stock JDM B16a1 VTEC Solenoid, has seemed kind of laggy, not nice and poppy and crisp, also you can't hear it like you can on other cars. I am going to replace the solenoid, but I have heard to replace it with the GSR Solenoid, becuase the solenoid is bigger and it pushes more oil into the rocker shaft and makes VTEC "POP" harder. What I mean when I say pop is the initial crossover when the car hits VTEC. I have ridden in a car with a B16a, B18C, and their cars seem to hit VTEC harder, than mine does. I have cleaned the Screen and it helped a little, but I would like to know if this GSR Solenoid rumor is fact or fiction.

NOTE: I replaced the Oil Pump on the car yesterday and the car rides a whole lot better, and hits VTEC a little harder, the only thing is it seems that it isn't hitting hard enough.
