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.
