I didn't know where to put this question. I am no engine builder or engineer. My question is, If you have 100% of intake to exhaust flow at a lower lift, wouldn't it make more sense to degree the cam around this lift? I understand at higher lift's you will get more flow from both the intake and exhaust. But as the lifts increase the percentage of flow between the 2 decreases.
Here's an example, the numbers are not accurate, they just demonstrate my point. At .300" lift Intake CFM measures 205, and exhaust at .300" lift measures 205, you have 100% intake to exhaust flow. At .400" lift Intake measures 230 cfm, and exhaust at .400" lift measures 215 cfm. Would it be more beneficial to grind the cam and maximize time spent where the head flow's 100% of the intake to exhaust?
