[QUOTE="Boink Boink, post: 2052495, member: 478"] Yo Bro. Ummm just flt that I should point you in the right direction. If you can, go get the book by Haynes, Alexander G Bell, Modern Engine Tuning. Hes got 2 others books as well. But I think the first, Modern Engine Tuning will be a good bet. There is a whole chapter dedicate to why playing around with valve timing, by way of adjustable cam shaft sprockets or in some of the european fords etc, keyway slots, to acheive changes in the torque and HP curves. In very lay mans terms, intake & exhaust valves can be equalled to how a human breathes. At rest, the breathing and exhaling can be fo rexample; intervals can be spaced apart. When running in a marathon, well the breathing and exhaling requirements changes drastically. Same as engines. well kind off. And I was not kidding about the 6,000rpm thing. It prob would get some sort of power increase, and prob save fuel if you clsoe the damned exhaust valve in time. But there are problems like; at low revs you get nothing and at low revs pratically all your fueland intake air will be going out your exhaust. Thats also assuming you can even get the damned thing to start. hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
