I think maybe all of this cam talk should get moved into the other cam thread. I may add some fuel to the fire that's already out of control--Good thing I'm a pyro deep down. J.Rob
Because FTP loves to muddy the waters and spew the comp marketing line this stuff gets out of whack and then people get confused.
You know goddam well the ICL doesn't change the LSA or the overlap. You KNOW that. So why make a point of it? IDK.
But you damn well ought to know the ICL changes the actual valve timing which has as much effect (or more) than LSA or overlap.
That was my point.
Start another thread. I'm ok with it. But I still will say what I always say....THE EVENTS DICTATE THE LSA. YOU CAN MOVE THE LSA A BIT, BUT THE LSA SHOULD COME FROM THE ACTUAL TIMING EVENTS.
And if you think that ICL doesn't affect idle and vacuum, we need to star another thread on that.
In fact, a tread should be started discussing ONLY the intake valve and it's events, and how they relate to the induction system, all the way out the tail pipe. We have to start somewhere that comp hasn't infect with bullshit.
