There can be a point where a deficient exhaust chokes the potential of the intake flow capabilities. You can only crutch around exhaust deficiencies with ex valve movement(open/close factors) header and intake tuning to a point.
Yes actual flow capacity matters and balance is an important part . Sure, I could improve percentage on a D port, or any other head, and not gain if I dont take advantage of it elsewhere.
??? You seem to be implying that better balance cant be used to improve VE.
If you are improving the intake capability by "x" percentage flow gain should you not be trying to improve your exhaust capability by the same percentage gain??? Could a little more be useful??? Aiding blowdown isnt desirable??? Cutting exhaust pumping losses arent beneficial???
Please explain if you were not playing word games.
FWIW I dont "feel" there is an "ideal" balance percentage. Simply I'd rather have more exhaust capacity than I need or at least as much as I could get.
