Did you mean max flow?If you stop lifting the valve at max lift,

The dual-plane manifold caught my eye as well has made me scratch my head...I suggest you get the April 2020 Hot Rod magazine and read from page 73 on. Billy Godbold explains a lot of things
If you can find that Hot Rod article on line it would be well worth your time to download it and read it.
I swear nobody listens to me...

I've been telling you guys for years that yellow Rose is a 13 year old girl with a stack of her father's hot rod magazines...
LOL...

What are the other specs? Did you talk to Ken himself at Oregon cam grinding? Both of my grinds have been from him and he gave me exactly what I wanted...
Sorry yr it was too hard to resist it was like shooting fish in a barrel.......

After rereading the thread I see you are using a dual plain and indicate you a mild mannered motor. I can see why Jones spec'd it like he did .
Some of the build parameters clash ... 2.08 valves and a dual plain for one .
I am excited to see how this cam works out !
Could be a perfect sleeper combo !
I have both an aluminum and cast iron W2 dual plain . Always wanted to make a sleeper 77 Magnum or 81 Mirada ! Keep it looking stock under hood .
As far as the dual plane intake and 2.08 intake, it’s been done with pretty good results.After rereading the thread I see you are using a dual plain and indicate you a mild mannered motor. I can see why Jones spec'd it like he did .

Take it for what it is John , my point was that the combo has been done and made power than expected. I can relate to the article because I don’t want an engine that I have to ring it’s neck every time I drive it (aka bracket engine). I just want to drive it, change oil, set lash, and repeat.I read about two paragraphs of that ragazine and that was enough for me. Lol. What an idiot. Done by 5500 and beat the mains out. Go back to engine building school buddy.

The intended purpose of this combo is to be a reliable street car that will provide a ton of fun doing short blasts while powershifting, doing rolling burnouts, and generally causing a ruckus. It is not intended to be a max effort world-beater. That’s why I chose the dual plane intake, the 3.91 rear, and probably why Jones gave the specs he did and not some wild *** .700 lift 300 duration cam. I do still think his recommendation was light on lift but I may have failed to tell him the heads are the long-valve version and installed spring height will be in the 1.9-2.0 range.
Not to beat a dead horse because you are going to do what you are going to do, but in 2010 netting .650 was boring. I'm taking about on street driven cars just like you want.
There are guys running way more than that, and I'm not talking drag week stuff either. Doing just what you want to do.
The single biggest killer of mid range power and driveability is using way too much duration and not nearly enough lift.
It's not 1985 anymore and cam grinders who have not learned the lessons of low lift will never learn it by now.
I’ve said this many times, if you build a 4” stroke small block and it doesn’t have a bunch of low end torque, you’ve screwed up somewhere.
I don’t understand why people are scared of single plane intakes on strokers.
Did you find the article on line? Link?Just read that Hotrod article and I didnt understand a few things...
1) did it say the builder had to tube his W2 pushrod holes then opened up the intake ports beyond that ? He must have different W2s than the sets I have had over the years ! Or ported them out to Landy Prostock proportions !
2) Where are the flow numbers ? Did I miss that ?
3) Why cant I find these mystical deals like 99$ Geardrives ? Lol
I’ll go a step further. I don’t know why guys are afraid of single plane intakes in stock stroke stuff. 44 plus years and never ran a dual plane intake yet on anything I’ve ever built.
Not scared at all, just don’t see the reason to use a manifold that is designed to produce power between 4000-8500when the majority of my driving will be between idle and 6500. Am I missing something here? If I planned to bracket race this car sure as **** I’d sell the dual plane and slam a Strip Dominator on it and hold it to the rug. I thought the dual plane would be perfect for my intended usage. Would a single plane make a few extra hp at max rpm? Almost definitely. Will the dual plane outperform from idle to 3500? I’m betting so.I don’t understand why people are scared of single plane intakes on strokers.
