Question about cams..... single pattern vs split
IMO there is very little reason to run a split pattern cam. I never look at exhaust flow number. I don't even care what the exhaust flows. I care about how quiet it is.
The only time I run more exhaust timing is on alcohol.
It's a cam grinder trick to do. They think it's tricky. They take intake duration off and then blow the LSA out to make it RPM. It's a bad way to do it.
Either way, they are either adding exhaust duration or subtracting intake duration.
An asymmetrical lobe single pattern cam is what most guys need.
Edit: I also use a split pattern cam on blown or nitrous.
