What's Up Man!!

Vtec kicks in at higher RPMS. It technical crap that has to do with Valve timing. But the basic scoop is Most cars have one setting for all levels of RPM .. Vtec was the first to come out with TWO settings one for low RPM and one for high RPM's... the result better performance, better gas milage, better every thing.
now all the car company's have something similiar or better. BMW's Valve-tronic blows the doors off of everything though! .. anyway if you want the technical low down do a quick search on this site, thiers some links around!

Happy Honda'ing
