Simple, your friend has a pretty powerful engine in a light car. Put your engine in a civic and VTEC will feel more powerful.

Is your friend's VAFC dyno tuned? If not it's not doing jack but displaying some information. I properly tuned VAFC can add some good numbers across the powerband. The thing is you don't have enough done to your engine to warrent the need for dynotuning a VAFC yet. I would say get some more mods first, like an intake next.

And unless your friend has changed the crank pulley I doubt those are doing much. Of course if he did change that he's putting increased stress on the bearings due to the aftermarket pulley not being equipped with a harmonic dampner. So he's killing he's engines life.
