But yes, I would like to hear if Valvematic was considered and if so why it was rejected.  |
i think it would definitely add to the MSRP. but the reliability shouldn't be an issue its a very simple design, throttle response shouldn't be much different. my guess would be 230crank 170lb/ft (at 7400rpm redline) with valvematic, the ECU could be tuned (from the factory) to run as much timing as possible without knock. with 8500rpm who knows what kind of power it could make.
