Default Freevalve Update - Camless Engine

KOENIGSEGG has this in their cars but now they are working with manufacturers. Great video of awesome technology. Hopefuly this isnt too far off for LS technology.

Always heard when 48 volt electrical systems come around, stators or solenoids will operator valves.

Switching a Cam Shaft is only a reflash away, I think its cool as heck but there is a reason we have sent it yet from the Big guys, Cost and complexity is my guess!

This is an amazing system. I cannot wait until it becomes mainstream. The next "holy grail" in engine design such as variable compression ratios which freevalve is proving more feasible.
