At first you said it's because there are two cam timing "profiles" (not cam profiles), one for lower engine speeds and one for higher engine speeds which have the ability to change flow characteristics. Now you're saying it's load based (as far as I know, the maps are actually speed and load based) and can't change flow characteristics.
In any case, the cam timing is not to blame for the torque dip, it's all about airflow into and out of the engine. Since Nameless actually totally reversed the dip (they got like 40wtq gain at the worst part of the stock dip) with their long tube header, it's safe to say the header is playing a big part in it.

Again I am pretty sure you are confused because nowhere did I say it has 2 cam "profiles" or "timing" profiles my first post was exactly directed toward clearing up the difference in "profiles" and "timing". The original person quoted was the one explaining it incorrectly and I was interpreting what I am pretty sure they meant. Please re-read the posts. I agree with you 100% that they are two totally different things. If you want to get into "airflow into and out of the engine" what do you think cam timing does????
