I always thought any cam with an overlap of zero or below (like both of these baby cams) wouldn't have both valves open at the same time? It is curious though, a 8-12 degree duration split seems to be pretty common among a lot of the 'off the shelf' cams to suit stock cathedral port heads nowadays.

How about an update “modern” LS1 test? Bore a 5.3 block to 3.900 or so, aluminum L33 would be nice but not necessary for the test, flat top pistons with valve reliefs, and start with 706 and 799 heads, various cams and intakes, etc. Find the point where ported heads or aftermarket, like TFS 215s make sense, and take the testing out to 7500 or so. The NA results could be nice! Of course, just leaving it as a SBE and turbocharging would get results, too, but the NA 5.7 comparison would be interesting. Valve reliefs would make more cams fit…

A throttle body is a gate valve with less than 100,% efficiency. 12 degree chamfers verses 7 degree hurts throttle progression. But on a carb engine, it's all about square inches of Venturi verses cubic inches of engine. The biggest carb on the best intake, with the right balance or peak power and mid range torque. You add to the info on what an engine responds to...generally. The exceptions...they are either for you personally...or for some others to help you solve. If you didn't ask, you wouldn't get an answer...

The FI vs carb test introduced another variable, though: the added plenum volume of the elbow. Do you think that was significant or insignificant? Also, the common trope about SP vs. DP manifolds is that the SP produces "less signal" at the carb which helps kill bottom end power, but from your test obviously adding FI doesn't fix that. I believe you've performed similar tests on carb vs EFI on a DP and came up with similar results?

Its really just a question a preference. Another advantage to efi is it's usually a lot easier to package, to fit under the hood. If I was on a budget or chasing every last hp I'd carb it.
