Legendary "Purple Cam" question

Did ken say if that was ground on a new cam blank or an old cam? Ask him what tightening up the lsa to around 109 would do.
he said it would give it better throttle response and seat of the pants feeling but will adversely affect idle quality and require a bit more stall. My factory converter already sucks so i was planning on upgrading that anyway. So i think i will go with the tighter LSA.
