Cam Experts: Lobe Separation Angle?
I am NOT a cam guru, in any form, but...... from what I have read and seen of dyno tests, I like a tight lobe sep angle.
Tight lsa's seem to give better midrange horsepower and torque, give up a tiny bit of power at the very top of the rpm band and idle shittier, all due to increased overlap.
Since supercharged engines, and late model fuel injected engines HATE overlap quite a bit wider Lsa's are used, THATS why a 114 was suggested.
I have a cam dynamics roller ground on 104 that I really wanted to use..... but the conrods hit it, so it's sitting on a shelf.
I think the 557 purple in my motor is on 108 (Or maybe even 106. I wish.)
