Ok, this is where my camshaft knowledge is total nill...

Why would you want the intake valve open on the exhaust stroke at all? Wouldn't that push exhaust fumes out through the intake? Or does the flow just keep going out the exhaust? And if so, doesn't that jeopardise the good fuel and air going straight out the exhaust valve before it even gets to burn?

How does this create a "performance" cam? Where is the performance in it?

A comprehensive answer to that would take pages. Lets just say, it help purge the spent exhaust gasses. professor
