Loud; I'm sure it has some decent overlap to it. If you knew the advertised duration numbers we could see how much.

It has 22.5º of overlap @.050". That's quite a bit and will definitely have a tough lope to it at idle!

Agree with the comment about limiting overlap above in theory, but here's where my understanding of N2O cams gets vague; the way I understand it, you want an early EVO event to let the higher than normal cylinder pressure escape, but I also understand that since you're chemically creating atmosphere, you can have a later IVO event and still maximize cylinder filling. So if the intake valve opens late, and the exhaust valve opens early, how would you limit overlap?

Wider LSA....

EDIT: IMO you need to get a custom specced for your setup and that big of a shot and I bet it won't be on a 112....
