I've got a stupid question about the Gen 3's: How come they don't seem to need the bigger duration like the older engine's do?

Plus I think I read that once duration gets too high, the stock Gen III engines run into piston to valve clearance issues, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's an issue as well

Spot on - 228 Intake is about the limit with the 6.1

The Arrington ST3-A runs this intake duration and AJ from that company confirmed to me that P-V was pretty tight but they get away with it.

But back to the duration question - these are Hyd roller profiles...so its apples and oranges comparing to the old LA flat tappet.

Alex, are you still in standing with Franks?

On a business level, no. Personally, yes.

I can help you either way.
