Does anyone remember or know about Floating intake power valves??

These have been patented a few times, the concept is a floating valve behind the stock valve that is close by the beginning of compression and give a much higher power cycle in lower RPMs.

Makes your motor a torque monster.

There was a shop in Vegas making them.

I lost his contact info.

How does a power valve make a "Torque Monster" ?

 

My understanding it makes your engine act like a LOW RPM cam is in it, by closing the intake valve very early the cylinder starts to building compression much sooner than it would with a normal cam.

BUT at higher RPMs and faster valve speeds it then allows your stock cam timing to dominate the valves events.

It is a pressure controlled variable valve/cam setup. At low RPMs the beginning of pressure right after bottom dead center closes the intake automatically.

That is the clams anyway.

I also wonder how long these will last.

But I would be interested it trying it.

Torque IS what gets you down the road, so more torque at a lower RPM can allow a car to cruse at lower RPMs and thus save fuel.

Again that is the idea.
