Brandon:
No, this is really sorta hard. I cant get into the "how" it's done right
now. This is currently being tested by a speedshop to be named at a later
date. I was also kinda vague on the description. You could think of it as a
butterfly valve that sits in front of one of the 2 valves per cylinder.
Basically it makes the 16V behave like an 8V at low RPM. Then on higher
rpm's it opens and is a fully 16V. 
The exhaust valves are not affected so the reality of it its a 12V on low
rpm and then a 16V on high. Does that help.
