Nice quality Valve Train
I was just trying to say that in my opinion 1.7 intake and 1.6 exhaust would probably work better then the 1.8 and 1.6. On paper it looks better, But how it actually works in an engine i dont know.
But your right, i didnt take into account the already funky specs of the cc306.
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
Valves don't work like Digital signals where they are ON or OFF going from closed to max lift (|-|_|-|_|-|). Their lift can be graphed in a sine wave like AC current, with gradually increasing and decreasing lift over time (_,~^~._,~^~._,~^~.).
If the valve barely reaches the point of the heads peak lift, it is only at that max cfm for a very short period of time - the tip of the wave. If it has more then the heads peak lift, it is still limited by that same max cfm but stays there for much longer - the tip of the wave and both sides of it.
Surely it's not that complicated

We need digital cams. Maybe AI has them. Flamesuit on.

If your lift at peak flow is x, and your cam had a max lift of >x, like your saying and advocating you would be spending more time at peak flow but you could also be spending more time at a lift with lower flow.
I dont think more lift is always better, it all depends on the heads

. It the port job is crappy and it stalls and drops dramatically after peak, then you don't want to push the lift too far. If it flatlines and holds peak cfm, then you would benefit more from using a cam with higher lift then where the head peaks.He specifically stated on a head whose peak cfm plateaus though, and not drops off fast.
320+rwhp out of the question with an M6? And what about longevity for DD purposes.

It is highly unlikely that a head will just plummit after it reaches peak cfm. If it does, it is a horrible port job. More likely is that the flow levels off for a bit, making greater then peak cfm lift a benefit.
Its not a new concept, and its not theory.
Ive seen alot of M6 cars dyno over 300rwhp, and none of them had everything done, missing rockers, ewp, tb something. I dont think its too far fetched.
