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?

I don't have a clew. Sorry but that's a little like asking the "Grasshoppa" to teach the monk. I can do most of the externals but I'm learning the internals and I'm a ways behind you I guess.

My understanding is that any speed density FI (D-jet and MS) require or at least like a strong vacuum signature and overlap causes problems with this especially at idle. I have heard that many race cars use alpha-N (which depends on throttle position instead of manifold vacuum to meter enrichment). The question is how far can you go with overlap before you need to switch to alpha-N tuning. Incidentally MS can be tuned for alpha-N D-jet cannot.
