I don't think that power cycles matter in this case. We're only interested in one power cycle. If the engine turns over 6000 times in a minute, this is 100 cycles per second. So one rev (aka: 360 degrees) takes .01 seconds. Of this 360 degrees, 270 degrees (270/360 degrees) * .01 seconds would be the time during which the intake valve was open.
