What’s the difference between a non VTEC and a VTEC engine?
1 VTEC engines use two camshaft profiles while non-VTEC engines only use one 2 VTEC engines can have excellent performance at high and low speeds while non-VTEC engines can only be optimized for either 3 VTEC is only available on Hondas while non-VTEC are found on any car brand 4 VTEC engines are much better than non-VTEC for street cars
