None of the "closed" chamber heads had hardened exhaust seats needed for unleaded gasoline, and these heads are coveted, plus the production numbers were far less than the peanut ports. | None of the "closed" chamber heads had hardened exhaust seats needed for unleaded gasoline, and these heads are coveted, plus the production numbers were far less than the peanut ports. | ||

| + | {{Note1}} Some dynamic compression rtatio calculators (like KBs) ask for an additional 15 degrees of duration be added to the IVC @ 0.050" lift point figure. This works OK on older, slower ramped cam lobes, but the faster lobe profiles may need to have 25 degrees or more added to be accurate. | ||

| + | {{Note1}}If the intake valve closing (IVC) point isn't known, it can be calculated: | ||
| + | # Divide the intake duration by 2 | ||
| + | # Add the results to the lobe separation angle (LSA) | ||
| + | # Subtract any ground-in advance | ||
| + | # Subtract 180 | ||
| + | This result does not need to have any amount added to the IVC point, like the KB calculator calls for. | ||
