Brent,
Thanks for taking the time to explain. It does make sense, especially when you stated "to get to the same point". Could I assume that as a general rule that matching the longer duration/higher lift cam with the ported heads would likely get beyond that "same point" in terms of HP/torque gains ?

Thanks again,
Ted
