Default What is the ASA cam good for?

With its long duration and relatively low lift and that 110LSA, what is it good for?

I was thinking of either using the ASA or the hot cam to get a little more power, but mostly to get my car sounding like a rough idling, fire breathing 1970 again.

ASA cars have a fuel shutoff at 6700 dont they?

Low lift = long valvespring life, a concern for all endurance type motors (oval compared to drag)
