[quote][i]Originally posted by Screaming Vtec[/i] Benny.. simply put: Imagine a highlift cam, and imagine a 'normal' cam.. VTEC engines have two sets of lobes, meaning that when 'vtec' kicks in, the car swaps from the 'normal' cams to very high lift cams.. The 'normal' cams mean that at low revs you still get 'standard' 2.0 power, but when you get to the changeover, you switch to the highlift ones.. Highlift cams at low revs produce LESS power than the standard ones, so the swap occurs when the power produced by the 'high lift' cam becomes more than the 'normal' cam.. The cams in the VTEC 'highlift' are VERY high lift, meaning that if they just used the high cam, the idle would be crap, low end power would be crap etc.. [/quote]
