Ramm, i'll bet you're looking at a pretty big cam to be at .225 of lift BTDC. Yes when you go to 'real race/mad lift and duration numbers you definately want to kill the lower lifts and 'steepen' flow window to favor the top.

What I'm wondering ( as controversial as it sounds) is why can't we adopt the LS architecture? There are already old school SBC's and even Fords that have built LS frankensteins already. Make a sbm casting that incorporates the LS ports and make a new Cam, intake and headers?
