If they had there'd be no point in bolt-ons and tuning.

Valve timing and lift affect emissions as well as peak torque -- the NA gains may turn out to be modest, but I get they are there for the taking.

If another hr on the dyno playing with VVEL could net even another 5-7 whp at various points in the rev range, I'll take it.

I'm still fairly convinced that VVEL tuning is part of why Nismos tend to dyno a bit higher.

EDIT: ^^^^ apparently, I was completely wrong on this one! See further here ECU ; stock ECU Vs Nismo ECU difference

Guess it was really just the exhaust -- SH0velman was correct!

Also, I can indeed confirm that the H-pipe Nismo take off exhaust makes good power and is superior to the Weldina Y-pipe Nismo cat-back.
