Yes you can use them.
Are you planning on using the vtec killers for daily driving?
I hope not..

Well its really better for track.
It kind of defeats the idea of vtec by having the high and low cam lobes.
Not so great for a small capacity engine.Think of big v8's with lumpy idle.
You are running the big lobe constantly which would suck for a daily.
Also better suited with quad throttles.

Vtec killer cams are called that because they basically kill the vtec function, not killer as in OMG fully sick killa mate!

Only use them if you spend all your time driving above 4400-5800 rpm, on the street it will be a pig to drive.

What sorta cams should I be looking at? Or isn't it worth it the time and money?? Probably just do a turbo...??

If you wanna improve bottom end and can put up with losing some response due to lag then go turbo, or otherwise supercharging. Forged pistons would be a good idea in this case.
