What everyone is talking about is the transition from the lower cam to the higher cam. When it happens the car gets a big boost of HP and you can really feel and hear it.

Go for a test drive and you will find out what we are talking about.

And yes it is ALOT of fun.

You make it sound like an entirely different camshaft. I hope you know it is not. VTEC instead just locks the lobes together so the higher lift & duration lobe actuates the valves instead of the lower profiles lobes.


To the OP:
Please just /yourself.

I know I was trying to keep the explanation as simple as possible. Sorry if I made things more confusing.
