no free lunch. Even if you run the cfd and also full combustion analysis you are going to lose low end if you emphasize max hp.

max static compression would be very important here as would low cam duration. Also minimal overlap of 3 degrees at 0.050 in. lift yet a big lca like 116 or 118. Alao run the cam advanced 4 degrees. more lower end torque!
