camshaft rpm vs cubes

RAMM said
If its one thing competing in the EMC for the last 6 years has taught me, it is this. Camshaft timing has very little to do with where the peak power occurs. Primary importance goes to the intake tract. If your induction is great-you can put in a stock cam and have it peak @ 6000+ rpm. Adding more cam timing to a cylinder head limited combo may bump peak power production up a bit (100-300 rpm) but really no more than that. This notion that "cubic inches eats up duration" is entirely warped.Cylinder heads and intake system dictates most of where the powerband winds up. One clue I will divulge is this: LSA determines the engines "personality" NOT duration when it comes to talking cam numbers. J.Rob

Yeah, but that Stock camshaft peaking that high does have a terrible powerband!?
no power anywhere...?
you may size the intake track to "ram" at a spesific rpm, and I believe if this area falls right in the cams sweet spot, the gains are much more that ramming outside of the optimal area.

it would have been interesting to see a dyno where they have different intake csa(based on wanted peak rpm) on the same camshaft. Wonder how the powerband would have moved around.

My case is that if I set up the intake tract for 5900rpm peak, the port may be too big for the engine Down low, throwing away alot of torq there would make me a looser on the street:burnout:
