Too complicated for me so early!

I'll have to go through it again later. It sounds interesting... Is that some sort of continuously variable timing?

Yes it is. he has some awsome videos demoing the VVA.

Yeah I saw that a while back...really promising, and cheap. That combined with VVT (i.e. BMW's Vanos, or the i in i-VTEC) will prob. make the multiple cam lobe profile system obsolete. I'm surprised a manufacturer hasn't jumped on this.

I've heard lots of theories (bits and pieces of theories) dealing with this stuff. Nothing has gone through enough testing for the mass market yet. However, I'm sure ALL the car companies are working on it! (Watch Hyundai be the first to unleash it... they are definitely a company to watch!)
