Justin is right though, with the big cam on only the intake valves on the SOHC engines its hard to feel a difference. I can tell because it has decent torque and pulls strong to redline.
Anyone who has driven most American cars from the 80s knows what I'm talking about. Even when my turbo car was stock, power was great on the low end and then it hits a wall at 4,500rpm. I actually like how the TL is seamless, it means the engineers did a good job of picking the best crossover rpm.

You need to put the car on dyno and observe then if your dyno chart look like this then you know when the Vtec is engage. LOL
Funny how people making fun of Vtec and doesn't know that most car out there these day having some kind of variable cam control, like one of the guy here in my local saying Vtec doesn't have any benefit for a motor. He driving the new 5.0 mustang then I point to his mustang and say sadly you just make a fool of yourself since the new 5.0 also having variable cam that control just like Vtec.
