I've noticed certain mods seem to be a little more effect on one motor or the other (but it may have just been one car or the other). So take it for what it's worth (and that's probably not too much)
No, you are quite correct. With all the dyno days SERCA has been holding in SoCal, they've been getting pretty good data. It seems the low port really likes the S series cams - more so it seems than the high port. OTOH, the high port seems to like the C series cams better than the low port - but nobody with a low port has made enough tuning effort to be able to say that definitively. It seems to make some sense though since the C series cams pull like a MOTHER to redline.

I think the same has been found for other mods as well, so I think you are 100% correct based upon anecdotal evidence.
