Wayne,
I dont think you understood (err, I probably didnt explane it). OK, take the normal Honda 1.6 lt engine with V-TEC...it has its normal cam profile and the high lift/ duration. Add a third profile for low load situations that would overlap with the compressions stroke reducing the compression fro 9.6 to 7.6 or so (it works out better w/ a V-TEC installed echo 1.5 lt w/ a compressions ratio of 10.5 then reduce it to 8.5 at low loads). I'll do some calculations of projected power drop...hmm, I need to find some dyno curves.
Cheers,
Steven
