big cam with small LSA???
I love the power my magic stick cam puts out, but now I wanna build a sleeper but still have that same sized cam, I know alot of speed shops can make custom grind cams and I was wondering if its possible to make a magic stick sized cam with a 115 or 116LSA and if so will I lose any power???

I had a 244/250 .615/.615 116+4 lsa cam in my car and at 900-950 idle you could barely hear the lope(kinda like a TR 220 on a 114). Several people didn't even know I put a cam in my car I switched it out for a 244/248 612/.615 114 lsa and this one lopes hard! Here is the kicker on my car the made the same power.

Widening the LSA will cause the cam to loose overlap and hence loose power.

If I go with a 114LSA, and move my idle up to 1000 or so, will that make it not so coppy?? Im planning AFR 205's or 225 heads and might drop to a little smaller cam, maybe 228/233 or so with a 115 or 114 LSA, but want something thats almost going to sound stock and not a Drag car like it sounds now, im also going to be putting a ORY and Corsa back on. Im hoping for a 430-460rwhp NA with H/C and boltons.
