Default calculation for figuring cam overlap??

I searched for a while and couldn't find it. I saw it the other day and now I can't remember it, anyone know it?

Default

Add the intake and exhaust durations
Divide the results by 4
Subtract the LSA
Multiply the results by 2

1 is fine for boost.I think you just dont want it over+8 ish.You also dont want to big of a standard split on the durations.
