any 2, non-canted valve engine is pretty much undervalved...so reducing the lift & duration of the intake valve will just multiply that, plus now your potentially dropping power, which can make the engine work harder, thus using the more fuel, to move the car the same as it would with a stock ratio rocker
if you are really despirate...look here www.hotrocker.com |
The whole idea is to reduce power (reference point same rpm and same throttle opening). So to generate the same power (IOW what is needed at that point), you have to open the throttle more so volumetric efficiency goes up. Maybe.
There is no such thing as working harder. Power is power.
