Finally figured it out!! Prototype underway!!

Well that video was interesting for a stock valve spring engine. I wonder what the loads expressed by stiff high lift valve springs would have on the variable timing system as far as the amount of pressure required to keep the cam in the proper phasing??

I am fairly certain that is not a big factor. Keep in mind that in general the actual spring load is distrubuted on the cam by the various valves at different angles of actuation. Also hydraulic allows no compression. If electic, I would suspect that stepper motors are used which are extremely good at holding a position under high pressure.
