Nebermind..... Each throttle body has an electronic control actuator that opens/shuts the throttle body plate based on needs the drive by wire system. You cannot finely control engine speed with camshaft rotation alone. You must be able to control the Air at some point. I see now that the cam lift (VVEL) does the majority of the work there..
