thats how honda does vtec. thats not how gm does it on the 3.6dohc. they actually retard or advance the cams relative to the crank. its more like varible cam phasing, and its varible valve timing (perse). when you advance or retard the cam, your changing the valve timing events. honda actually changes lift and duration of the cam. while gm only changes when and where(in time) the valves open. now combine the two...woah.
