Low Speed

At low speed the balance valve and power valves are closed. This effectively allows the engine to breathe as two, three cylinder engines, each having a separate plenum and long primary tracts. The primary and secondary tracts and the plenum volume are tuned to resonate at 2700 rev/min, giving peak torque at this speed.
