Controlling them will be an issue, the degree variability that we can have with the BEAMS system means that I'd have to develop a complete new control algorithm which would need a map for each cam and a few different trigger cases. It would be an interesting task but would take a fair bit of developing.

My thoughts on cam control are that we look at how the cam solanoids are pulsed and see if we can lock them in place electronically, if not then lock them mechanically until we're further down the line of development. Then get the engine set up and running before trying some noddy advance and retard tests (based on RPM and knock).

Should be fun what ever.
