Ok easy lesson....
LSA is the product of the average of the Intake and Exhaust Centerlines.....
For example a cam with a 110 ICL and a 114 ECL gives you a 112LSA.
The other thing that this relates to is the advance or retard on a cam.
The example above is advanced +2.
You take the LSA and subtract the ICL and what you are left with is the advance or retard. If you get a negative number you have the cam retarded.
That make sense?
