VTEC is NOT about Variable Valve Timing - its about valve lift!

STOP mixing VTEC with VVT!

VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine.

[I]It's true that the engine's valve timing changes, but that's a secondary to the primary objective of VTEC - which is valve lift.

wait a minute, VTEC by their definition does change the valve timing? Even if its a secondary function it still performs it correct? excuse the lack of knowledge on the topic.
