I wonder what role the Direct Injection and VVT could play as far as timing and increased power output. The potential could be great.
This is true, but it's also entirely possible that because of the actual function of VVT (adjust timing to avoid knock) and the complex algorithms in the ECM from the factory, this gain could be totally very small or totally negated.
