Eric's cam challenge
The one's of the top 10 that stand out/interesting to me are 5th and 10th place, OP Mustang and BTR.
They seem to stray furthest from the rest, the ivc/evo seems to be in the general ballpark with the rest. Ivo & evc is a lot less and obviously giving it them the widest lsa and least overlap of the 10, they had 250 exhaust which seemed to be the minimum while still making good hp. They also had the smallest intake duration 234/236.
The BTR is fairly similar even slightly bigger to the OP Mustang but did a lot worse in torque, main spec that sticks out of the BTR compared to the OP Mustang is 66 EVO is the earliest of all.
The ones that seem to do worst in torque most had a 48 + for IVC but funny the ones that did good in torque seemed to have a 48 - IVC so around 48 could do good or bad on torque.
Obviously these aren't all the cam spec be interesting to see the @ .200" numbers.
Another interesting pair is 3rd and 9th, Joe Carol and Powel.
They both were under 250 exhaust 247/246 had the next set of lowest overlap 25-22 and on the smaller side of intake duration 235/237. Both didn't do so well hp wise which most that had less than 250 exhaust had trouble also. But Joe did get 2nd in peak torque which he has the earliest ivc in the top ten and the earliest overall.
Funny how varied the top 5/10 or the whole field was, other than engines that had less than 250 exhaust all but two had good hp and most engines with good torque generally had 41-48 IVC even though some engines with 48 did poorly with torque. Most the other specs had some similarities but also quite a few out liars not too many smoking guns that say this is overwhelming the right spec for this engine.
