Variable Valve Timing
Adjusts the timing of valve lift to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.
Direct Injection
Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber for better mixture of the fuel with the air. This improves emissions as well as fuel economy and engine performance.
Active Fuel Management
Initially developed by General Motors for the 5.3L V8, Active Fuel Management (AFM) deactivates half of the cylinders to improve fuel economy under light duty application.
3-Phase Camshaft
Grooves in the Intake camshaft allow for the camshaft to slide depending on engine demand.
• “High Lift” mode for performance.
• “Low Lift” mode for normal driving.
• “AFM” mode for maximum fuel efficiency.
