stock camshaft specs? (j.a.c only)

searched and found limited discussion on the S specs. (as of 2005 anyway, nothing else comes up on searches) but does anyone know the specs for the N/A cooper camshafts?

just need the duration timings at .050 or whatever they use.
valve overlap
Center line angle
and when things happen:
intake opens and closes at ? degrees
exhaust opens and closes at ? degrees.

mostly its for design exercises, optimal enhancements can only be selected if you know what your engine wants to do. im hoping someone out there either knows a factory engineer, or has taken the time to go get it measured.

thanks for your efforts everyone to enhance motoring.

ok i guess no one knows.
iv'e been searching more lately and with what i found out...my original question is not a good question.

since the "prince" engine has variable duration and variable valve lift at any given time depending on throttle position and revs, then there is no set duration or timing at any given moment. therefore, my question changes:

does anyone know what duration ranges exist for the valve timings and at what ranges they open and close at? maybe thats a better question.....and to that one i don't expect too many answers.
