I know, I've made similar plots in excel based on the @.050, advertised duration and peak lift, but those plots are fairly generic due to not actually knowing the lobe shapes. And I try and add one more line to the plot, the cylinder's airflow demand by crank angle, just to better understand what is going on at each of those valve events. It'd be nice to commonly have that too. Buick 455's have a short 3.90" stroke, so it's piston location and piston speed is quite a bit different than a Pontiac's at the same crank angle.
