Ok I said that essentially you are in vtec all the time to make things simple to understand, as must people associate vtec with the high rpm cam lobes. However, technically these cams do eliminate vtec. Because vtec is just variable valve timing so if you eliminate the low profile lobes then you are eliminating vtec because there will be no cross over and no variable valve timing and no vtec. These cams have an extremely aggressive ramp angle and are meant to be driven from 5000-12000 rpm. There is no low profile lobe just two very big lobes from the beginning. These cams are not street able, they give you no low end torque, they idle at like 3000rpm, and are race only.
