differences in cam L/S How much different will be the output of 3 different cams all with the same duration of 221 and lift of .558, but one at 116, one at 114 and one at 112?
I got a cam that is a 116 and was told it was a B1. It is going into a M6 car that will run some N2O. I want the rev limit at 6600. Should I use the 116 or get a different cam?

Re: differences in cam L/S Well, basically (from my understanding from SBC engines) the LSA would affect driveability and the total rpm range.
112
Rough idle
Top end power (best for shifting at around 6400-6800 rpms (depending on duration)
114
noticeable idle
Great mid range, some top end (best for shifting at around 6200-6600 rpms (depending on duration)
116
smooth idle
Great low and mid range torque (best for shifting at around 5800-6200 rpms (depending on duration)
