Just the other day I came up with an idea for a throttleless gas engine. It would have to have electronically controlled valves. The ecu would automatically cut fuel and hold open the valves for a split second really fast. So for example it would provide fuel for one revolution, and then cut it for 3 revolutions, and the engine would be producing 25% power. But it would be fast enough that the driver would never notice. The only question is if the slight amount of engine braking would be too much.

Anyway, congrats on the fairly out there mod. Interested to see how it works out.
