Yes, get rid of the camshaft. It's holding us back. With solenoid valves it'll be like having several cams for one engine. Imagine, you'll have minimal overlap for torque while cruising the streets, picking up groceries etc.. and on the highway that baby opens up. These valves will be able to close faster than the old ones too. Which means keeping that valve open longer than you could with a cam and valve springs. I'll always have a place in my heart for the '02, but technology is a wonderful thing..
