218/227 .525/.525 112 LSA

It will definately give you a choppy idle.

If your planning on making any kind of power look for a better cam. Any cam will make the car idle choppy with a 112 lsa.

With proper tuning it can idle almost as smooth as stock. My hotcam idles at 900 rpms (M6) smooth as silk. The only time it even chops a little is with the AC on. The overlap causes some low rpm surging at cruise, but I have almost all of it tuned out too. It's all in the tune.
