 Finn,
 
    My suggestion is go to Paul Yaws excellent technical article on intakes and exhausts at
 
 
There he lists the stock port timing specifications as well as some of the more radical Racing Beat port timings.
 
Me, I wouldn't know how to measure the port timing.  Maybe you could stick your finger in the port and slowly turn the  crank until you feel the side of the lobe, then measure the E shaft degrees off the crank pulley {:>).  Perhaps Lynn or someone has a process for doing so.  I think I recall someone showing the process on  a side housing, but that was  a while ago.
 
If you engine has stock timing then its no problem, or if you are certain what any modifications to the timing are.  Port timing can make a quite a difference, so guessing is not recommended.

What we now need is a table of IC and IO values for different year housings and portings.
Or maybe an illustration on how to measure them.

Ok, Folks

 The DIE related products include:

PDF of the Slides used in the Shady Bend presentation 1.4 Meg
PDF of the Formal (sort of)  Mathematical derivation of the equations 225K
PDF of a short summary of the equations Attached to this e mail 95K
Excel DIE Spreadsheet for doing your own DIE calculations. 250K

     However, for those of you interested, I have attached a very brief
summary of the DIE equation derivation.  Its only two pages, with some
graphs attached and is probably not that easy to follow without the expanded
step by step derivation process shown in the full up presentation.
 Hopefully, it will keep those interested in the DIE occupied until the
full-up presentation is on the RWS web site {:>).

Best Regards
