I disagree. You’re plenty smart enough and with a good scientific notation calculator you can easily do it. I can’t do it without a calculator.
And there is math for about every damn thing you can think of and then some.
Once you figure your at .050 intake timing number, you use that to get your LSA, ICL and exhaust duration.
Plus, understanding the SEVEN (not 4 or 5) process model is a real eye opener.
I keep my copy right here by my chair. And the sub title is “Race Engines Optimized Through Hardcore Math”.
If that doesn’t get you sporting wood, you may want to check your pulse.
BTW, I do not believe the math is just for hardcore racing engines. I’ve used the math successfully for several street only cams and several street/strip cams.
