With 100 hp per litre.. I agree that it's already pretty aggressive from the factory.. Plus the fact that there is VVT on both the exhaust and the intake side..
They seem to be optimized pretty good.. I'm sure the tuners have tweaked this area for more power too.. Too much lift would hurt the drive ability.. Especially on a small displacement engine.. Will be interesting to see what comes out.. Seems like it would be a big PITA to replace cams in this thing.. Will be interesting to see a year or two from now what's available for this car... And how much power they will squeeze from this puppy of an engine..
Most will go the FI route.. As its the best way to make more power from small displacement engines..
