Thats a nasty cam for that combo. I wouldnt change a damn thing.

You could maybe afford a tad of overlap, that cam is right at 0, but its most definitely NOT worth swapping out.

yes FI likes less overlap than NA. With a big overlap cam you effectively blow the boost that a blower works so hard (parasitic loss on the crankshaft) to make. A tiny bit can help, but its not common practice.

Don't like that cam


As for overlap some of the most powerful setups have overlap
