Stroker specific cams?

I'm not the only one saying it. David Vizard his literally hundreds of tests where the narrow LSA was a better.

When I see these wide LSA cams for low performance, or induction limited stuff I know, for a FACT, the timing events are wrong. Fix that, the LSA will fall in line and the engine will make more power, everywhere, except it won't have as much after peak RPM, as in over-rev. But most guys don't like to RPM their engines, so that should be no issue.

Going back to the reversion issues at lower RPM's, I gotta ask if 'more power everywhere' means more torque below 2500 RPM..... I am a bit skeptical (but sure don't know it all) and still think it is a trade-off for what you want to do, and the lobe type you want to run. Let's face it: If you are in a low cost mode and all you can afford is a lowest cost flat tappet cam and cheap springs, you're just gonna have certain lobes to pick from and if you want to emphasize real low RPM torque, then you are limited on your options. I don't see it as particularly 'wrong'.....

I don't know the Vizard tests and what they were optimized for...It's a pretty interesting topic to me. FWIW.... I have been on the shorter duration/higher lift page for a long, long time.

BTW, not of this applies not the OP... this is just the usual internet tangent LOL
