Should be safe then to retard the intake valves, it only means the cutouts are there for nought, until you unretard it
You are looking for keeping it open longer during the compression stroke, but it should be well closed before the piston comes near.
Would not advance the exhaust valves though, no need to end the combustion stroke prematurely.
A metal plate behind the throttle valve... feels like venturing into Gadgetman gouge territory? Any links, any proof?
Suppose it works that would be real nice, so let's have it...?
