How do you know that though? The VVEL system with a factory exhaust cam plus tuning the intake cam could be worthless. Looking at a lot, and I mean a lot, of boosted VQ37 motors and comparing them across the board to the VQ35 (DE to HR) we are seeing equal if not better gains when applying forced induction.
The VVEL system might create more power, but honestly it will be a larger expense, because you will need to incorporate an exhaust cam into the tuning mix to see true benefits.
