<VV> Lifter Question (Fascinating stuff)

[Sadek Charles H DLVA]

Ron,

	You are right, but there is an awful lot here. There are many
variables which make the answers dependent on something else.  You have to
coax this stuff out of folks in little drabs..which I have been trying to do
for years,, VBG.

	Suggest you start visiting web sites and start with technical notes
and papers from Cam manufacturers. Sometimes they try and tell you these
type of things in order that you buy the correct cam for your
application-after all, they want you to be happy and buy another next time.

Try fastvair as they lean toward this aspect of how things work.

Good Luck

Bob,
   And others who have this expertise. This is the VV stuff that most
interest me. So I want to pick brains here.
Is there an optimum degrees BTDC to open and optimum degrees ABDC to close a
valve or is this the difference between low end torque and high RPM power
and can it be explained so we all understand it. What is different about
intake and exhaust and their requirements. What are the effects of higher
lift, pro and con, and quick closing versus slower closing of the valves.
All things I have wondered about. Again, fascinating stuff.
