Whats a vb mod?

It is the valve body mod. It is for the auto guys. If I recall it helps the car shift harder and more effeciantly.

No. The VB mod is for only autos, correct. But the MEVI can be used by anyone.

You're talking about two completely different things.

As usual, this topic, is covered in the 4th gen FAQs thread.

VB mod = valve body modification. Basically, tunes the valve body in the tranny to allow faster, quicker shifts. Slipping is elminated and tranny will eventually last longer.

Variable Intake Manifold (AKA - MEVI, VI or VIM) - This is the newest Mod discovered for the fourth Gen Maxima, it is a stock part on Maximas made for the Middle East (hence MEVI). There is a modest HP gain with this (about 10hp) but more importantly it allows the Maxima to make peak power all the way to redline. There are a ton of threads on this, search. 'VI' is to short for the board search engine but try using variable, MEVI, or VIM.
