If my opinion/experiences account for anything, I am leaning towards a design that gives a controlled amount of turbulance and increased burn rate. Part of the problem with F1 engines and their extremely high piston speeds is flame travel. F1 engines and their amazing piston speeds have been...
Mred,
Port height doesn't necessarily affect the camshaft profile. Now the flow numbers off of a flow bench (as stated earlier) and the cross section of the port are much more important factors to consider. Make sure you consider the exhaust to intake flow ration when choosing a camshaft...
Gentlemen,
I have already a bit of experimentation on a Ford 2.3l sohc engine with this. Advancing the camshaft will halp with the low end torque to and extent. Retarding the camshaft will shift the power band up higher in the rpm band of the said engine. It will vary from camshaft...
