Do our factory turbo diesel engines have much valve overlap? Would they not overlap when the piston is pretty much at TDC leaving little volume in the combustion chamber to be filled by exhaust gas?
The problem with 'seat of the pants' is how easily we can unwittingly be tricked. A louder exhaust, or more 'wooshy' induction sound often makes a car feel faster. An engine that makes no low down power may feel like it makes more top end power than one which makes more low down grunt but the same top end.
