when cody and i talked about the combo with the e-tec 200's the idea was to have a combo with easy driveability and good top end power for weekend trips to the track. that is why the larger ports were choosen, to go after some top end pul.
using a comp cams extreme energy 284 the idea was that the high ramp rates of the XE series cam woudl support the low rpm air velocities normally associated with good cruising/driving street cars and yet still yield enough air flow to operate up to 6400-6600 rpm at the track for some weekend fun.
the idea was also to leave enough vacuumto operate power brakes, which the pulse draw from the larger ports shoudl easily support at low rpm.
it isn't a purely street mannered engine, or a tough to live with "street/strip" motor, more of a compromise to get good power and still be reasonable to live with.
