I know Valvematic is a great system, why not combine it with this car instead of AVCS? it's not as tuner friendly for sure, but it could increase power while dropping the torque dip completely due it its extreme variability. i know it's pretty simple and doesn't take up too much room and combined with Direct injection it could be a winner.

Actually, I was thinking about this too. I think this would have done wonders for power and efficiency. The only downside is that it would probably cost a lot more than normal since you'd need 2 units as opposed to just one for an inline 4, and it would possibly lower reliability. I kind of wonder also if it makes the throttle response a little less predictable...
But yes, I would like to hear if Valvematic was considered and if so why it was rejected.
