Do different cam lobes effect vacume?
just as the title asks. do some cam lobes produce more or less vacuum than another style of cam lobe. obviously vacuum will change with camshaft profile but what if you had two camshafts. Both cams have the same specs but are ground on different lobes. would one of these camshafts produce more vacuum than the other?

In theory if you two cams with that had the same @.050 duration, but one had slower ramp rate from @.002 to @.050 than the other (larger off base circle) the faster ramp rate cam would pull slightly better vacuum.....but I don't think it would be that big of a difference.
