I think that a 230/234 pulls all the way to redline so there is no need to add extra exhaust duration which is only used to extend top end power past where the combo has its HP peak. You are also adding 3 degrees overlap which hurts driveability.

One of the guys who made the 478 sent his cam to be cam doctored and the 230/234 114 turned out to be ground as a 234/234 113.
Spin, what happened after he found that Comp Cams had not ground the cam to spec??? Did he send it back to Comp and did they exchange it for another 230/234 cam? Do you normally cam doctor cams you buy from Comp and install?
I used to see this all the time with aftermarket motorcycle cams. The only cams I got that were always spot on the timing card specs were from Yoshamura and were made in Japan.
