the increased energy of solonoids would be counter acted by not having friction and heat losses from cam ,lifters and rockers, i dont know if it would equal out or not but as far as sensers,solonoids and pulse width modulation control, none of that would be that big of a factor in a giant mass production setup, if i recall from the article though ford stated problems with high rpm operation ,i wish i could remember the issue# of hotrod mag, hoepfully though battery powered cars make the ice obsolute soon.
