I am clueless here
Ok I have a question here about camshafts. I see different Lobe seperations in books and I was wondering what do the differences in the degrees benefit for performance?

In very general terms, the longer the duration the higher in rpms the peak HP will be. The air flow capacity of all components on the engine, the intake, heads, and exhaust also play a role in determining the total amount of HP a motor is capable of generating. It's a pretty complicated relationship, so the best way to really see how all these parts combine to produce a power curve is to model them with software like Desktop Dyno.

The 112 LSA will give u more Vaccum than the 110 LSA, the tighter the LSA mean that both of the vales are open the same time, which gives the "lumpy" idle.......I THINK................Ck me on this
