Can’t we apply technologies such as VVT to make it perform just as well as a car with 4 valves per cilinder?

Having two openings spaced apart allows better airflow in and out of the engine than one larger valve with the same area. This increases the engine’s efficiency by reducing wasted power and potential energy from hot gasses. It’s also easier to manufacture precise valves today than it was 30 years ago.
