Honda VTEC is variable valve timing & lift.  On DOHC engines (Integra & Prelude), VTEC is designed to give more power at higher RPM without getting all flat at idle & low RPM. On the SOHC engines (in Accords) it's designed more for gas economy, & doesn't have as much of a performance kick. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to 19Accord97) Post #: 3
