There was greater detail in the convo, but remember it's hard for me to keep up with Mike all day.

Something about there's more to it than that (because I asked the same question as you). Something about the lobe shapes and the events happening at an extra 6 or 8 degrees of duration? Something like that? I probably regurgitated it all wrong.

Any smarty pants engine guys care to join in?

The motor in question was a super stocker he built. He does a lot of those.
