No, VTEC in this case, only "kicks in" between about 1500 and 3500 rpms and then only at relatively light throttle settings. It's there to optimize fuel economy, and does nothing for performance the way VTEC does on something like a Civic Si or a Honda S2000.
Once you pass 3500 rpms, you've locked out the VTEC cams on this engine.
