Camshafts, idle quality, driveability and LSA-REAL WORLD EXP and OPINION

RAMM said
I should be more clear. Cams: LSA trumps duration when considering things like vacuum- vacuum equals = part throttle tip in, mileage, ease of tuning, part throttle torque under peak torque, and a much wider and user friendly power band.
Also again:Increasing LSA has a much greater impact than reducing duration in order to achieve a certain idle/power curve/drivability.

Corollary : Narrow LSA will negatively impact idle vacuum, narrow/abrupt power curve and make driveability/tuning difficult--To a MUCH GREATER DEGREE than a wider LSA will.

Look all of this is in countless publications and all over the place. All I am saying is what I said in post #1----Cam 2 cam and duration 2 duration the cam with the wider LSA will be the better choice for the street bound crowd. Also given the choice I would prefer to widen the LSA than reduce duration to target a given HP goal AND retain any kind of manners. J.Rob

So, in the link that IQ posted did that power curve negatively affect driving? If so, how? The tight LSA made more power from the start of the pull, all the way up and was 5 HP down and max RPM. It's in black and white. Not my numbers. In fact, I said the LSA was to narrow. In fact, that cam should have been on a 108 LSA with 10 LESS degrees on the exhaust. That would have killed the 110 LSA all over.

Let's face it...this isn't about making power. Some of you guys were born to drive Hondas.
