Cam question to avoid reversion
what am I looking for as far as cam specs to avoid reversion? Small block Chevy if it matters. I know you want minimal overlap but that is not listed on cam specs that I can tell. Just trying to avoid problems.

With a Crower Hyd roller I'm at 221/230 @ .050" , 114 LSA with no reversion on stock exhaust manifolds/elbows with 4" thru hull exhaust. This is near the limit. Beyond that I'd likely need to dump the water further aft.
