I have a hard time believing these arguments about dwell time at TDC 
.... means better blah, blah.....  The arguments are always stated like 
the effect is really dramatic.  I've done a spreadsheet that calculates 
piston position versus crankshaft angle.  You can play with the numbers, 
but I can't get more than one degree difference between the curves.  I'd 
guess the effect would be similar to changing the cam lobe separation by 
about 1 cam degree.  How much effect would you see on the dyno? The 
spreadsheet is at:
