Has anyone looked into split duration cams? I know Jake loves them. I don't know of anyone who is making an off the shelf split duration cam for the 914, are people having custom cams ground to their specs? Is there a recipe for turning an off the shelf cam into a split duration cam, using stock heads/CR? Add so many degrees duration to the exhaust?

Dave,
That is a specific question I have had with D-jet. This is the incentive for writting you about subsituting D-jet and Mega Squirt.
I added your questions to mine on the STF site http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.ph...p=431013#431013
Similar questions is weather to go with just split duration, split lift or combination of the two. Of course increased Exhaust valve curtain area and port flows would help as well as header tunning.
If you go with split duration while keeping stock overlap (IVO 12°BTDC and EVC 4°ATDC) how far in the power stroke can you have EVO? From my reading, piston speed reaches max at 81-90° into power stroke and EVO following max speed should not significantly decrease power.
Thoughts?
