I am installing a new cam in my 540 Shafiroff Ultra Str. The spec LSA is
112 both ways (not advanced when grinded). If I sound stupid, just trying
to learn engine stuff. I want to advance cam 2 degrees to get more of
the rough idle sounding. Called Comp Cam and he said the 112 will have
that sound already and will not make much difference. Since car is street
driven it will help in lower, mid range hp, tq which would be more useful
str racing. But back to main question, does a 112 LSA have that killer
idle sound I'm looking for. If you need more info on cam: 714/714 lift,
262/270 dur@50 and is a roller. The car is driven weekends only so I am
thinking also the lower LSA should not take its toll on drive train (was
told low LSA is bad for street). Thanks for all replies. Bob
