Are they really bigger cams or cams with more lift and duration?

^Bigger cams = extended cam profile = more lift

I'm just messing around. Calling them bigger is the same as calling higher capacity injectors and fuel pumps bigger.

^ not just more lift but the lob profile is also different which could change duration and timing.

Vtec = 2 cams in one
Vtec-i = 2 cams + variable timing

why 2 cams instead of one big cam. because smaller cam = better low end power and fuel economy.

this concludes your lesson in Mad Vtak Power Yo.

I think she wants Media, Springfield / Lima area, so down the Blue Route. Told her I want 3 car garage at next residence.

Yikes. Well, you should be able to find a decent sized garage in that area. My gmom used to live that way and had a large house with a lot of land... And garages lol.
