just search dude, i'm too lazy to search for you, but i'm positive there are animations on the web that will make you clearly understand vtec, its a beautiful thing, dont pay attention to some of the noob haters on here, there was a time they didnt know what vtec was too, next time search a little more before you ask a broad question like that though.

basically its an extra intake cam that is connected to the other intake cam in a higher rpm and it helps keep the valve open longer. the reason they have the vtec is that they are able to have multiple camshafts.

just to add. its like having a more aggressive cam top end so u dont have to worry about impossible idle.

In the most general of terms, it is two different cam profiles (duration and lift) on one cam shaft. The "mild" lobes are most effective at lower RPMs and the "wild" lobes are most effective at higher RPMs.

At some specified RPM (variables include which ECU you are running, whether or not it's chipped, if you have a V-AFC, etc.) the engine begins to run off the high RPM cam profile.

EDIT: For future reference, look long and hard for your own answers before posting. "Search" is your friend. Most HTers are happy to help you out in a bind, but expect you to do your best to answer your own questions...
