DC 260 measured 261 @.008 but it's 269 @.006 if you want to compare with comp, lunati,
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DC 260 IS 14 DEGREES LONGER AT .004 THAN THE 260 THE WAY MOPAR MEASURES you can use this number to estimate timing and duration for other MP cams for use in Dynamic compression ratio calculations as the MOPAR number gives unreal results. The difference in factory cams is even more than DC/MP cams as the DC/MP cams have steeper ramps than factory oem cams. Factory cams have eally long and even longer exhaust ramps

AJ/FormS writes "This 276er on a 114LDA(in at 112) leaves just 110*of compression distance to make the charge hot enough and dense enough to make power"
Well in a LC teener this works after the torque peak, but not so much at rpms that it spends most of it's street life at.
And the 102* of extraction means there's still a lot of energy in the cylinder when the exhaust valve opens. Energy that could have been used to propel the vehicle.So with this energy going out the pipe, hey you paid for that! and now it's wasted. It comes out the end of the tailpipe as sound and withturn-downs, ends up making little dust-devils in the graveldust on the road when idling,stopped.
But if you take that same 276er and tighten up the LDA to108 and install it at split overlap of 106*, the you will get 116* of compression, with the ICA falling to64* from 70*. This leaves the Dcr up and the cylinder pressure probably 10 or more psi higher. Furthermore the extraction moves this same 6* to 108* delivering more energy to the crank, and less out the exhaust.
The "penalty" for this is the extra 6+6=12* of overlap which is now 64 degrees. At this point the overlap is beginning to become a 5th element to the 4-stroke principle.
If headers are now used, this element can be exploited to increase engine output by virtue of bringing the V.E. closer to 100% during a portion of the powerband beginning from around the torque peak and up. 64* ain't much yet, but the effect is better than at the previous 52*.
The real penalty is the slightly lumpier idle(which most guys like) and a wee bit of a tuning learning-curve.
