Also there is a big push to move engine technology to the next level using
electrical, solenoid-controlled valves for the ultimate in valvetrain dynamics. The
higher voltage is absolutely required to help overcome the spring pressure. Think
of it as a unlimited selection of camshafts available to the computer for automatic
activation based on current sensed conditions. Even makes the VTEC design
obsolete. Unparalled performance and gas mileage are only a start to the benefits
it will bring.
