Need to do some brain picking on locking the exhaust cam in place on the Atlas I6 engine. Would one lock it in the advanced, retarded, or some point in between. The 4.2 Jaguar has nearly an identical bore and stroke so thought about mapping a profile of it's exhaust cam and getting the split overlap reading. Then ?? could the Atlas cam be positioned the same? A possible fly in the ointment is the Jag is a 2 valve head and the Atlas a 4 valve so flow rates may be so different cam comparison is useless. Jump on board with any and all thoughts along this line. They are now offering a VVT eliminator kit for the LS3 V8 (not legal for highway use) so it must work but have no power output comparison between stock and modified. Don't want to knock a 25mpg ride down to a 12mpg one but would like to make something that doesn't scare an old pliers and screwdriver Stovebolt guy from opening the hood and getting dirty.
