Granted there are plenty of variations on 4 valves per cylinder and this begs the question as to what a PolyQuad head does better than a a current and typical four valve per cylinder head? Answer – everything, and compared to Honda’s VVT and other such variable valve timing systems costs almost nothing and can be produced in a typical head shop!

There have been some serious debates concerning combustion efficiency going on in the rums and from these it seems that it is well understood that there is more to producing torque and power than just filling cylinders with air and fuel. At low speed the engines ability to breath is hardly a problem as relatively, there is plenty of time to fill the cylinder as full as it is ever going to get.
