YEs its a 2000 gt.. and it has vvti.. on the top of the engine cover.. but when im driving.. and i try to redline it.. i dont feel or hear any vvti power. it just sounds the same the whole gear changes.. Im just wondering if theres like a VVTI line.. or something maybe it got connected off or somehting?

Sorry to dissapoint, but you dont feel any kick or extra power from VVTI. VVTI is just variable valve timing, it is used in everything from Tarago to the tiny Yaris. Honda VTEC alters valve lift, therefore it is similar to VVTLI in the toyotas, you feel the kick as the second set of cams kicks in which have different valve lifts.
