As always, glad to help James.
As regards to valve overlap, there is a lot in writing out there.
Nevertheless, there are other details and parameters that are not taken into account.

The Controlled Induction software package is easy to use and it has been used by Crower for many years. It provides great camshaft specification based on the inputs.

Dynamotion is a more complex software package that will require a lot more details of the engine and it provides a lot of data output. Also and it comes very close to actual dyno numbers. However, unless you are building engines for a living, it may be an overkill.

Just remember, if you input bad data, the program will give you bad results.

Yep, sort of enjoying the retirement; need to keep my brains busy, therefore, I am going to either be working for a smaller local company or consulting for my previous employer.

My wife and I are enjoying the move to Glendale, Arizona, although it was 27 degrees this morning! At least, no snow and clear!

Race car is in progress and will be picking it up next month once Sean Cour is done squirting paint. Then will be busy finishing the car and getting it to the track.

Have the same number, feel free to call me anytime.

James: Bolt holes are no issue. I was going to drill out the heads Brian had to 1/2 inch. Water passages are another issue, though. Going to stick with my AFR heads and run bracket. I thought SS would be fun to build for but not so much.

Good luck on your quest for answers.
