OK, I was with you and then you lost me and then I was with you and then you lost me, I think I got the idea after a few reads (and a break between )...

Just to clarify: P.V = m.R.T where P=Pressure, V=Volume, m=mass, R=some constant, T=Temp. ???

I understand trapping a reduced amount of air in-cylinder, but why would my idea be any different in metering the amount of air into it, or the pressure into the manifold? My idea is to have a high(ish) pressure amount of air and only put in the right amount of low(ish) pressure into the manifold, bleeding off the rest.

You say you can't allow air into the reservoir at a higher rate without also increasing the air pressure and I get that, makes sense. If, by not using a throttle, the rate of air in is higher, then by using a bleed off valve, the pressure will be less than what the pressure would be in a throttled engine. Basically, increase speed and decrease pressure, thus equalizing the equation.

I assume, regarding your last paragraph, reducing the V into the cylinder would be similar to the way Toyota's Valvematic system works?
