I thought the VVT thing had been decided. Then you also have variable lift and cam profiling to look at. Most of these improvements were provided by the manufactures as a drive ability enhancer as opposed to performance enhancer. This allows them to have a cam that idles nicely and one that performs well also at highway speeds. It is part of the computer programming and as such would cost extra money to remove. When the control wires to the advancer's are removed the computer goes into "Limp Home Mode" and of course the performance is sucked right out of the engine. If a group outlawed the advancer's I am sure some one would or has came up with an adjustable aftermarket sprocket so that the cams cam be adjusted for the most power and the computer can be reprogrammed. This translates into extra cost to the racer, which I thought they were supposed to be trying to eliminate.
