Why couldn't something be developed that allows a computer to open and close the valves, and do away with the camshaft? This way you would have less moving parts, and be able to tue your car to what you want. For example, as a daily driver I would "tune" my computer cam for about .500" lift and about 210@50 duration, when when I get crazy on the weekend, I could retune it for like 500lift and 250/260@ 50 duration. Why not?

does sound like a good idea...but it seems that it might fuck up to easy...a surge in power...or just a short could fuck things up.
