Hmm... Well, maybe I mis-understood what I read, but I thought that theres more overlap when you have that much total duration, which bleeds off compression. Isn't that why you need more compression in order to run a large cam?
Wouldn't the decreased time to maximum lift help increase actual compression because more air is allowed to flow in for the same given total duration?
Like if we have two 282 cams, one with 224@.050, and the other with 240@.050... The latter has more time above .050 tappet lift, and thus has a larger "hole" open longer which allows more air in to build more compression.
Or am I off by a lot?
Is it only the intake valve's action and lobe seperation that can potentially affect compression?

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
