yeah, take away the mathematical and physical proof and Corky Bell really doesn't make any sense. I suppose if there was some rationale or any sense in what you're saying, we'd probably believe you just like we believe Corky.
But... reducing compression with overlapping cams.... and on a turbo engine?? You do realize the mathematical compression ratio is not changed. The actual compression ratio might be, but at a large loss of any boost built up. So, if what you're saying is indeed true, he's overworking the turbo for no reason. The actual boost in the combustion chamber would be far less than the boost as read in the intake manifold. Driveability would SUFFER (poor flow control at low RPM... and assumably if the overlap is enough to reach the compression stroke, it would be FAR worse than any high duration NA setup), as would response and high end power (you're killing lot of boost).
Well... if it works (as in runs), that's great. But you've at least got to admit the sheer stupidity of it.
Out of curiosity: would you mind explaining how he prevents or safeguards against "misfiring" in the exhaust manifold when he's losing air and fuel into the exhaust stream from his high duration cam?? How often does he have to replace the turbine? Lots of people here have asked about misfiring systems.... so I'm sure they'd like to know.
