the cam moves the valves so they should be the same. If you have a variable cam then the valves are variable also. They are connected. Even the dodge site has them labeled as variable cam timing (VVT). I would like to see something telling me different other than opinions or word of mouth.

It's a bunch of horsecrap about nothing. They are the same damn thing but people aren't stopping and thinking about it logically. It'll blow over in a few weeks or so when people realize that it's just a label change.

As mentioned already, there are no actual power or spec differences in the motor. They would have to recertify the motor for Emissions and Fuel Economy if they made a change to that degree.

hi guys about the vvt can someone tell me how it works like does it drop to the same valves everytime it goes into fuel saving or is it smart enough to alternate the valves it drops to why im asking is i feel the valves would carbonize faster if they were the same ones if you get what i mean can someone help with this to ease my mind thanks

I agree. Last I knew the cam moves the valves. So i bet wether vvt or vct the end result is the same.
