I've been looking for a cam like that used.
Naked Av, your in Cali and I'm sure you stressed very heavily that yours is a daily driver and is so far before it becomes performance oriented. Also, I tlaked to 2 different guys there, Matt and someone else, the other guy recomended something like that, but I think it was more since it was an off the shelf cam, and the other guy liked doing things better. That's all speculation though.

Maybe others don't have to worry about emissions, or daily driving. I do know that they smog only every 5 years on new vehicles now, so that's pretty cool.Alrighty then, disregard all my posts...sorry to clutter up your thread Brian

Hrm... so a tight LSA is better for N/A like a 110*? I assumed LSA only contributed to idle/vac as well as the peak/fall off of the powerband.

On a boosted motor you don't need valve overlap to draw the mixture in the forced induction does that for you on a NA motor the overlap causes a scavaging effect to help draw mixture into the cylinders.
