Effects of lash settings report

I definitely did degree the cam carefully. And I agree that I need to advance it a bit, probably about 4* ideally.

I wondered about the looser lash, but figured I was safe to try it since Lunati tech said it was OK. (but I know we've gotta be careful about that kind of advice from tech people!)

I had the adjuster problem before setting looser lash, but Iif it's not a good idea to run looser, then I'll tighten it back up. I do want this cam to last!!

It's not a bad thing to play with lash a bit. Especially on the stuff that calls for .028 lash and loose crap like that. When you get to the newer lobes that have that tight of lash to start with, the lash ramp is damn short.

If opening the lash made that much difference, it's telling you what it wants. There is nothing wrong with what you did. I just wouldn't leave them loose for an extended amount of time.

Since you did degree the cam, that means you know how. I like that. Now you can roll it ahead (if and its a big IF you have the intake piston to valve clearance) and get some of your bottom back.

Or maybe look into a bit looser converter.
