Jason, is there a specific unit on your website that would give us details of what the Concours units features will be?

I never got the chance to learn about the VVT system when I was in school, but it sounds really similar to Honda's V-TEC system. Obviously it's not switching between 2 and 4 valves, but it's using oil pressure to vary the amount of incoming fuel mix and the speed at which it can escape. Except that I'm guessing on the Concourse the "engagement point" can actually be changed by the ECU, which is what makes it "Variable?"

The timing of the valve opening / closing could be variable, but the amount of cam advance could not be variable. It would either be full forward or full back. There is a spring that holds the mechanism back until there is enough oil pressure to overcome the spring.

We'll be adapting our whole fuel injection line to the Concours: Z-Fi, Z-Fi QS, and Z-Fi TC

The timing of the valve opening / closing could be variable, but the amount of cam advance could not be variable. It would either be full forward or full back. There is a spring that holds the mechanism back until there is enough oil pressure to overcome the spring.
Yeah I got the part where it's either on or off, but I though you said it was a solenoid that controlled the oil flow to advance the cam? Because if it's something that the ECU can change, it's going to be interesting to see how that effects the tuning of our module.

I am going to stoop to your level. Show me where people gave him a hard time. Rather, folks are excited enough for the product that they want to know if they would make one for the 08 - 09 model that did not have a factory setup. He wants reasons and some folks gave it. Most folks from the 11 - 12 version might not chime in because they already have a factory option. And as Bazzaz rep point out, some already PMed or emailed him. Everything was a good discussion - and that is what a forum is for - until you come and spout nonsense. And to Bazzaz rep - great way to get some customers by insulting them by agreeing with this moron. You know at least one guy who will not touch your product with a foot long pole.

Obviously you missed my use of the word maroon (think Bugs Bunny) in place of moron and the
