Now, it depends on the grind of the cam. If the intake valve opens at 20 degrees ATDC intake, and exhaust closes at 10 degrees BTDC intake, you need over 30 degrees of intake cam advance to create overlap and backflow into the port.

So is the valve overlap messed with for higher RPMs? Because that would means these engines have variable valve timing and I would be surprised that it isn't making more power in the top end. Granted it wouldn't change profiles as vtec engines do.
