A shame we have to wait for solenoid valves!

It will probably become available this decade though. BMW could make F1 engines with that tech way back in the 90's.

It will be a fantastic upgrade as it will render a lot of parts useless that take HP from the engine, and also it will be VERY VERY tuneable!!!
