false, quite the opposite actually. narrowing the LSA will offer more overlap which = more mid-range tq and high rpm power, and ultimately a peakier power curve...in a nutshell.

your both wrong a tr 224 on a 114 will peak higher than a tr 224 on a 112...the 112 will have a slightly rougher idle and make power sooner....the 114 will start making power a lil later but hold it higher in the rpms.....
lsa is a by product in figuring overlap....this **** is covered all in the stickies doesnt anyone read them......................

And if you have advance ground in or install the cam advanced a few degrees it will lower the power band as well, just be careful of piston to valve clearance on high duration/high lift cams. With a 224 I would think you would be safe in that department though

You have to look at the valve events not only duration or lift numbers alone. Look at IVC that's the time the intake valve will start closing with piston going up top. It's the closest point of contact.

FALSE...... wide LSA will produce greater low end torque and a narrow (lower) separation angle will produce better top end power(HP). Your statement even said a "high rpm power" and " peakier power curve".... That was my statement a HIGHER PEAK HORSEPOWER . Not sure why you would call my statement FALSE.
