Newbie cam question...simple.
I read JRP's cam guide and it was unable to answer my question clearly. Do cams with a lower LSA number have a greater idle lope than cams with a higher LSA number. Information I have read concerning this seem contradictory, or maybe I'm confusing lobe separation angle with valve overlap (two opposites of the same thing I think )
Thanks

lsa is not the only thing that determines "lope"...although with typical off the shelf cams a lower lsa will "lope" harder...i don't know if you will find it with a search but there is a thread with a formula on how hard your cam will "lope" it has to do with duration and lsa...
