Who cares why he wants to do it? I think it's dumb, too, but that doesn't mean that we don't have to asnswer the question intelligently and help him out. It's his car, let him do what he wants to. What's wrong with asking questions to find out how to do something...that's how we all learn.

A lopey idle with cams is from the increased overlap of the aftermarket cams. With a IX and the VVT map, you can increase your overlap at idle to get the same effect. I don't have a IX and haven't messed with the VVT maps, but just find where you idle and increase the overlap, meaning increase the intake cam timing.

I disagree, but am by no means a VVT expert. They "lopey" idle comes from the longer duration of the camshafts and it is my understanding the VVT basically changes the lift of the cam but I dont see how you could adjust duration on a solid rotating peice of machined steel. Maybe I am wrong (and probably here), but I dont see how you can get the sound you want with stock cams.

thats cuz not everyone will know the answer to a technical question (nonricy).... but everyone knows the answer to a rice question, which is "GO TO SUPERHONDA.com and stay there!" lol

The VVT does not change the lift of the cam it, it changes the position of the cam. The lift is machined on the lobes. The easiest way I can try to explain VVT is like haveing a cam gear that automatically adjusts itself.

The lope comes from the overlap ov the cam lobes. You can get rid of the lope on an Evo 8 by increasing the lobe seperation ie. I-4, E-1.

As for getting the lopey sound from stock cams, hell if I know. Unless you remove a plug wire.
