VVEL control unlocked

The TT guys maybe could tweak it to add duration and lift earlier and spool faster? Maybe?

I dunno, you can't make it open any further or anything than it already does, that's why Uprev is saying they weren't able to get much out of it. They smoothed the curves a little on my car, but that's about it. It already goes to maximum (safe) lift and duration on the stock tune.

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.
