    on a serious note, type in "aftermarket cam SOHC" on Google.

    the VTEC "sound" is your valves maximizing their lift and duration, in effect bringing your engine to it's full capacity. Just about any "aftermarket upgrade cam" will do this to one degree or another.

    The more agressive the cam, the greater the effect. But there are trade-offs, such as driveability, idle, fuel mileage, etc. Choose carefully.

    Yeah i know how Vtec works. . . but i was thinking that if you bought a cam with a bigger Vtec lobe it would make it more aggressive? Or would i have to do some valve work? What kinda cam would you recommend?
