I fear I didn't make myself too clear.

I was wondering if (for example) I take a SV, bring it's power down to 50 hp through shorter cams (mainly) then boost it back to 76, wouldn't that make a more efficient engine than either the stock engine or your own boosted version of it ?

Then even if it is the case, having cams grinded on top of the turbo conversion could be something that could never pay for itself.

Or I could Miller it and only have the exhaust cams grinded ...
