is bville burkesville ? anyways for a rough idle you will probably have alot of overlap and it will be alittle harder to tune. how about something like a 228/232 xer lobes on a 11o lsa or slightly bigger like a t2 on a 110.daily driving a rough idling machine is very annoying imo but for a weekend warrior it isn't so bad but hey,different strokes for different folks so whatever floats your boat it's all good.

The best way to have rough idle, while still maintaining half-way decent street manners is to pick a medium size cam like a TR 224/224 on a 112, then put the idle speed around 650-700 rpm in a 6 speed car (100-150 rpm lower than stock) and pull some idle timing out. It will idle like a freakin' Pro Stocker, but it will have impeccable manners above 800 rpm.
