Intelligent Vtec- variable intake cam timing and still uses variable valve lift.

It is NOT i-tec and if you look at at it a little closer it says "i-vtec"

I can't honestly answer which one is better. But if I were going to give you an answer I would say each has there own benefits.

whats the difference between V-TEC and VTEC?

I tend to think VTEC is better than i-VTEC but I'm biased...

VTEC kicks in at a certain RPM, whereas i-vtec kicks in at more so the amount you're pressing the throttle so you wont FEEL i-vtec "kick in" like you would v-tec
