..that the "regular" (whatever that means, probably factory) limits are good enough. He just laughed when I started talking about balancing combustion chamber cc, rod length, etc.

On the other hand, an engineer at Powerflow told me that in order to get the best out of their exhaust, to check the cam because the factory limits are so loose some don't get the scavenging done even though within factory specs.

Dear Skip,
I think you are absolutely correct. The regular Lycoming specified limits are "good enough" to produce a "good enough" running engine.
It may not necessarily be the greatest running engine, -nor the smoothest running engine. But it will be a "good enough" running engine.
That it's technology standards are well seasoned (I am not saying that this is good or bad) is "good enough" for such an Engine to provide good service!
And in regards to the Powerflow exhaust and their remark on the standard Lycoming camshaft specs, they may be loose but after all, they are "good enough" for a standard exhaust system!
Good enough now,
Konrad
