Maybe my wording wasn't clear before but I was not implying that you needed DOHC so you could have a low cam and a high cam. You can have VTEC at work on a SOHC engine, but it's a mild application due to lack of adjustability.
Agreed, i misunderstood your previous post. However, my understanding is that some J35 and most J37 engines have VTEC on both intake and exhaust whilst remaining SOHC. Anyway, my apologies for derailing this thread lol.
