-Intake Charging
After both intake and exhaust valves are closed there is a:
-Compression phase
Then in place of Ignition or power stroke there is:
-Pre-power burning phase
-Power Production stroke
there you have it the true 8 phases of the otto cycle!

Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
