Still, it doesn't have a cam in the traditional sense...

Nothing will happen, other than the car will go into limp mode ,and will not rev much above idle. Nothing will be destroyed...I promise. It still has a defined range of operation, and that range will not break anything.

I just remember my good ol' B16A1 with cable tranny hittin' that VTEC at 4,500 RPM and pullin' all the way hard to 8,300 in my CRX HF....that was a sleeper beast. It'd give the 370 stock a hard time in the straights.
