Hmmmmm - maybe not!

So given that my truly innovative cylinder head above is unlikely to be the correct solution, is it possible to compensate for the reduced flow any other way?

You want variable port sizes, variable compression ratio, and mapped valve timing under solenoid control, so that you can alter the timing and duration of opening and even the acceleration rate to be optimum, this is the direction things are heading.

By altering the cam timing alone you can see quote good gains in terms of recovering lost bottom end, in fact this is what your M5 does to tame its relatively racey cams
