the vtec tuner allows you to lower vtec. Oh and did I forget to mention, It also allows you to adjust your suspension

Call the phone company and ask them.

Basically it allows you to control the RPM range where VTEC engages.

As said a vtec tuner simply adjust the cut over for when vtec engages. Not really useful until you do major mods to your car, and at that point you should just get a tune.
