Could this be daily driveable?

Would a cam with 11 degrees overlap at .050" and a 109 lsa (109 degree ICL) be daily driveable?

The LSA alone is irrevelant, its the overlap which is derived from the LSA and duration that is what mainly determines drivability.

11 degrees is fine for a daily driver. I have a 10 degree overlap cam and it drives around town like its stock just about with the exception of the idle.

I wouldnt say extensive, I guess tuned mine at first and it ran fine. Just pulled lots of fuel and added like 4-5 degrees of spark down low.

11 degrees of overlap isnt a lot compared to some of the large cam out there.

I can daily drive an old john deere tractor with no top and a missing wheel. Point being, you can daily drive anything depending on what you are willing to put up with.
