With regard to the lobe separation, do I need to be looking in the 110-112 region? What does changing the lobe separation do and is it the inlet that is opening later, or the exhaust that is opening sooner or a bit of both if I reduce the LSA?

Whilst I'm more than happy to accept your experience, I do like to understand why I'm doing something.

"more split between the duration" means you'll have more duration on the exhaust side than on the intake, often in the range of 6°. For example, you could go 242° duration @ 0.050" on the intake, and 248° on the exhaust.
