VVEL control unlocked

It's also a big reason why long tubes weren't making the same power as a stock header because the heads and exhaust were too efficient. It made more power per lbs of boost, but not enough boost to make more power than the stock headers. I feel being able to control VVEL will be a big deal for supercharged cars. Maybe we can reduce overlap to increase pressure, and open it up progressively so it gets top end efficiency. Just a theory, but it sounds good lol.

Dont hang me for this, just sharing what i was told lol

which actually made me re-think going TT. idk,
