OK, engine guys - at any given point "snapshot" in time, how many intake valves open at once?

Asking because to determine narrowest point in intake from a flow crossectional area. I am calculating the flow area of 1 32mm intake valve (30mm port) @ 7.0 cm2. If say 4 valves are open at once (2 cylinders) that is 28 cm2 total flow area. An optimized 60mm t.body has about 26 cm2 of flow area = "probably adequete". But if 8 valves are open, t.body is definately the "narrowest" point in the intake tract. Does this make sense? confused

It doesn't matter since there will be the same amount of air being sucked in per RPM :p

It gets evened out in pulses in the runners anyway.
