It's the cams that make the difference

Between which motors? What are you comparing? Overall which has the hardest hitting VTEC? It all has to do with the cams as said before. However VTEC engagement should be rather smooth if stock and running properly.

DOHC > SOHC if that makes a difference...

look up some dyno sheets and the answer will be before you.

vtec is a system for motor efficiency, not sound

lol i went for a ride in my friends recently swapped k20 integra. this is out of context but when the vtec kicked in it "put you on blast"..Car was a beast lol. Vtec came on at 4500 and he shifted at 9200. It was wild. Pulled super hard.

You and me both.

I think I'll mess with the cam timing on my K20 so that it "hits hard". I heard high school girls are impressed by that.

get a vtec controller, little guy. push the vtec engagement further up the rpm's. then you'll get that minty fresh hard hitting vtak!
