Running port velocity.
In most cases higher velocity will reduce cam size for a set displacement and RPM.
An exception, when velocity is extremely high for a limited CSA - like Super Stock etc.

A nice formula -
FPS = ( Flow_CFM * 2.4 ) / Average_CSA

But a running engine is not a flowbench. So how does the engines piston demand interact with componets (intake, head, cam)..??
