Re: What are the benefit of type R cams in a non vtec teg? (fivespeedintegra)
I didn't think so...
I had some twit tell me he put type r cams in his otherwise stock rs.
So what high performance cam is recommended then for non vtec?

<shakehead> 
Vtec cams have 3 lobes on the intake and 3 lobes on the exhaust. 2 of them (the outer ones) are used for regular operation. The single center lobe is used during the vtec operation. Because of this you CANNOT use DOHC VTEC cams in a non-vtec motor. You can however, install a DOHC VTEC head (b-series) onto a non-vtec block and get DOHC VTEC-- like what i did. Its called a LS/VTEC. Use the search engine for that one if you want more info.
Observe: VTEC CAMS
Now non-vtec dohcs have only 2 lobes on the intake and 2 lobes on the exhaust.
Observe: Non-VTEC cams
(The above is cams from a Neon-- but you get the point)
