2000 to ~8000 prm's and a fairly flat torque curve is real nice I have to
admit....so the old Vari-Cam idea of the 60's was a good one after all?    that
was the first implementation of a variable valve timing device I ever heard
of...back about 68 or so....in an american V8...

was sold as an aftermarket hot-rod device...something about company going under
and patents being argued and lawyers getting rich...GENE
