I could calculate the start of the Injection, or the end or the middle. Then, I would look at the cam spec's the dome of the piston and consider if I needed to include a bowl in the piston dome then figuring out of the pistons are suitable without. Injection timing plays a huge role here too. I cannot see how you can consider a cam profile or its settings without first knowing the injection timing.

Great point Neil. These are the 2 standard MFI pump timing specs.
Stock MFI pump: Set @ 40 degrees after overlap. #1 plunger starts to rise @ 85* after #1 TDC.
@ 295* ATDC #1 plunger is at 50% of travel.
@ 115* after overlap #1 plunger is fully compressed. Total plunger travel is 6.90mm.
For the RSR's: Set @ 14* before overlap. #1 plunger starts to rise @ 34* ATDC.
@ 243* ATDC #1 plunger is at 50% of travel.
@ 55* after overlap #1 plunger is fully compressed. Total plunger travel 6.90mm.
Hope this helps.
