0* @ .05''



(Intake duration + Exhaust duration) / 2 - ( 2 * LSA ) = Overlap
(224 + 224) / 2 = 224 - (2 * 112) = 0*

Uh....I beleive that is the wrong way to determine overlap. Here is how I always do it and what I have always seen on here as the formula.

Intake duration @.050 + exhaust duration @ .050, Divided by 4, minus LSA, X 2

That answer of 0* @ .050 is correct though, I've never seen it done that way though.

That's the way I've seen. You can use the same formula, AFAIK, to determine the overlap at any point that you know the duration for. Most common numbers are @.050.

So how is this cam for MPG and streetability. Looks mild enough for daily driver or weekend car but not sure on the MPG hit? I'm looking at an STS with this cam.

Do some searches. There is a LOT of info on this site regarding 224/224 cams. They are the "bread and butter". Big enough to make good power (380-400 rwhp cam only in M6) and have a slight lope if on a 112 yet small enough to drive virtually like stock on a good tune.
