increased valve overlap will lead to a high boost threshold, you sort of got what i was trying to say slightly wrong!
wide cam profile = more valve overlap= raised boost threshold,
to get over the raised boost threshold, which could increase lobe seperation, but then this equals raised peak power

the inlet benefit by having the cylinder creating a higher pressure difference across the inlet valve!
