Please explain that statement because it goes against most standard design theory and thinking.

Cam & intake design usually go hand in hand.

If it does not then - Why not get a long duration cam with early opening points and run it on an intake designed to make a low rpm power curve via it's port volume and overall runner length & design.

Using your thinking there would be nothing wrong with a setup like that and it is plainly obvious you would be overcamming your intake's ability and thus building an engine that makes a terrible power curve.


The split port cam has 2 separate patterns because each respective port has different airflow characteristics. How can you not see that reasoning?

If we were talking about oval port heads and intakes then it would be a different story but we are not.


I think that the best design for NA power would be oval port heads with custom single pattern cams and a custom intake.
