For the hydraulic-electric setup, valve duration and lift are both fully controllable during engine operation, by altering the high pressure system pressure and duration of electric pulse to the controlling valve (once again, just like HEUI injectors).
It'll be around in 5 years.

I drove a brand new Chevy 2500 with a Duramax and Allison tranny a few months back. It had good power but the transmission shifted too hard for my taste. I'll take my old 7.3 + 6 speed over it any day.

Somebody mentioned something from the tonka on stops and start eK storing....I think you are talking about HLA? cound familiar? Hydraulic Launch Assistance...Stores E from braking and then lets it go under acceleration...anyways...smokestacks 
Almost certain on that one....Looks good....

I believe there is an all-electric, mechanical solenoid version out there too.

Well if its not a superduty its not a truck. That leaves GM an Dodge out. The 6.4 will be interesting when it gets out. This power war is getting rediculous. Powers fine the way it is. Would you Ford guys go to a Duramax if it had more power. Not me. Wouldnt buy one whatever they had in there.

The extra cubic inches coupled with the 2 stage turbo system equates to 2 things in my mind, additional volume of air (leaner that lean burn) less dead pedal (no vanes to dictate spool up) more power from efficency, and extra cubic inches.
Simple answer, same as what we got now+ a better induction system and extra cubic inches= more power, reliably, better acceleration, better fuel mileage.
I'll go out on a limb here, " No chip necessarry"

Would 2 diesel motors be possible? One high torque, HP, cubes, and MPG be damned. The other designed to produce better MPG numbers. There is already the TT VT275 V6 from International being put in some Ford delivery trucks. I've heard that the VT275 might be available in the F-150.
BTW the twin turbo setup has been used by tractor pullers for some time. In fact twins were so good that some pullers now stack 3 turbos, awsome power (and smoke). For those wanting to know what these pulling motors with 2 or more turbos sound like, they are fairly quiet. There is a turbo whistle, and then there is a big sucking sound (of air and $$$).
