Here's the thread http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84797

That's the beauty of big cams with variable cam timing. By advancing the timing you are still able to gain power down low, while retarding the timing at higher rpm's to help make peak power.

Generally big cams will make more power up top, at the expense of power down low. Double Vanos helps to allieviate that.
