"two camshafts, one for economy, one for power"
i think he means one for intake and one for exhaust, that or he was referring to the camlobes
i've always wondered, how did he get the job as a test driver? i've seen lots of videos and to be totally honest he never struck me as a good driver (shitty rev matching, skid recovery)... granted, he is quite funny though

Oversees Lotus had the Rover K series engine in it. It did not have a Honda engine from the factory.

Re: (RPM)
The Elise/Exige/340R all came with the Rover 1.8l 4-banger from the factory. This motor began life in the Elise in 120hp form. In my Exige it is 190hp. The motor can be taken up to about 230hp before you have go FI. Although at anything more than about 220hp - you are asking for trouble.....

For info on Honda motors into the Elise and Exige go to
http://www.prototyperacing.com
He has a kit to put the K20A into them....these cars are super fast when that motor is pumping out over 300hp to the wheels.
