That is true. To my memory, his cam evolution was something like:

214/222-114
227/218-117
224/224-113
218/218-114

I could be off a few degrees here and there. I'd like to see some results in the other direction, though. Perhaps something like 234/234-112 would be interesting.

Jose's SS has a 230/230 with .544 duration and a 114LS.
