Default Different Specs Idea

Your right, I have never, ever, ever thought of this subject! I wonder if the lower end specs would drag on the upper end and vice-versa so the gains would be zero? What if you build cylinder 1 for low end max, then cyl. 2 a little higher, 3 a little higher, etc.??? Would this provide a smooth transition? I think it is an interesting idea and I think you should build it and report the results.

Wow, 1989 Corvette 350 TPI VVL. Sounds very Nissanish...

I like it though, but you'd have to manually adjust it.

Its kinda like having 4 cams.
