Seems a lot of newer owners just jump from the M42/44 to slapping a 6-cylinder in these cars. Sadly in my opinion they lose their wonderful balance with the added weight all going forward with those 2 cylinders.



I am selling my DASC right now but had planned to adjust the cams as part of tuning for more efficient power. For supercharged power you want as minimal overlap as possible so that the blower doesn't blow fuel/air through and out the exhaust.



For scavenging and better power naturally aspirated you want to optimize it.
