Here's one event to consider:
IVC can be hugely important. Think about which way the piston is moving. Wait a little too long and you lose air/fuel (compression too) you had in the combustion chamber. Don't wait long enough and you miss out on some air/fuel you could have used to your advantage.
I say you set IVC where you want it to be vs "it just ends up where it is because of LSA or etc."
Remember, one thing effects the other....but IVC is a big one. I'm not speaking of .050" here either.
