Also adding to that said above is the fact that your cam is not big enough to take good advantage of Exh scavenging .

What you can to do to help maximized any
scavenging effect that might take place is to reduce reversion .
A good start to this is keeping your 2.11” valve and making sure that your exh port outlets are smaller then the header tubes they are feeding / dumping into.

This type of arrangement restrict’s back pressure from the closed exh system from delaying and contaminating new intake flow, but does allow any vacuum ( negative pulse) that might be made to get into the chamber a kick off a early start to intake flow during the overlap period.
Cam timing is absolutely the best way to control how scavenging. The rest is just band-aids
