3. Point 3 is neither here nor there because I would have not spec'd what performed best. In fact I would have came very very close to the intake duration and LSA, but never would have given as much exhaust split...and never mind the actual lobe design..I doubt my cam design would have been in the top ten.
I think the need for so much more exhaust threw a lot of the contestants off, one of the guy's felt it was cause of the smaller headers, I have no idea if he was right, think it was Brian Salter.
