ferrari's new camshaft design?

how about the electromagnetic camshafts they were talking about in Formula 1, that were supposed to add another 10,000 rpm to the engines' rev range... :eek:

 

i'm not sure how much i like this stuff though. cams are already expensive for my car... i imagine stuff like this would push the price through the roof... would be interesting though.

Just wait till they get rid of the cam altogether and acutate the valves electronically. Tuning possibilities are endless.....

yeah i cant wait until cars dont depend on gas, and by the way its comeing sooner than we think.

al this technology... put some damn displacement under it and we would have some whoop ass engines around (dream with me for a minute.....) 426 hemi, electronic valve timing, turbos, direct fuel injection. hmmm, i can only dream of having the money to make it happen though

I thought the Super Stallion was a S/C'd V8 that ran on Ethanol

Super Stallion was designed to run on Ethanol or Gasoline or any mixture of the two. I wish they (Gov and Fuel Co’s) would get off their collective asses and bring E85 to this state. I would be more than happy to replum and retune the Camaro’s engine for it. A 10%-15% hp boost just for running E85 over gas.

Hrm, ferrari's system doesn't seem that technologically advanced. BMW's system (Vanos I think is what its called) is suppose to revolutionize varable cam timing and control. I don't know when it was due out but it might already be in the M3 motor.

i was just gonna say that you bastage. but yeah we read about that in scc and they basically explained it as infinitely variable.

VANOS has been in use for a few years already.

From all accounts those are still a few years away. Right now they add too much weight to the engine.
