Maximum Compression Ratio

Longer duration resulting in greater overlap occurs during intake valve opening and bleeds exhaust gasses into the intake charge at lower rpms, deceasing idle quality. Decreased dynamic compression comes from the later closing of the intake valve during the compression stroke. Greater duration camshafts close the intake valve later like increasing the lobe separation does (/roccodart440).

I get that, but the guys reading it may not. They may say "let me buy this larger duration [email protected] cam and that will give me the detonation resistance I need" That cam also has a 104LSA. See where I was going with my comment? Really we need to look at both specifications.
