[QUOTE="na svt, post: 12326796, member: 35346"] no -Duration is the length of time the valves are open -Lobe seperation Angle (LSA) is the degrees between the intake and exhaust lobe centerline ((intake LC + Exhaust LC) divided by 2 = LSA) -Overlap is the period where both the intake and exhaust valves are open (at the end of the exhaust stroke and beginning of the intake stroke) -The duration of the overlap period is determined by the LSA and duration length, lower LSA and longer durations = more overlap -The longer the overlap period the more rough the idle -Forced induction engines require less overlap than n/a engines as the pressurized a/f mixture will be blown out the exhaust during the overlap period With that, engines lacking intake valve area require a longer overlap period to draw the a/f charge into the cylinders. The greater the cylinder volume/intake valve diameter ratio, the more overlap the engine will require. Conversely, small engines with large intake valves require less overlap. Therefore, a 281ci engine with a large intake valve area (like a mod motor) requires no overlap to make power and adding overlap to the equation will take away power throughout the entire range. To make things worse, adding overlap to this same combo will reduce efficiency even more. Any aftermarket 4v cam set can be made to idle rough, all you have to do is lower the intake and exhaust LCs. This reduces the LSA and increases overlap. [B]In conclusion, stick with a 2v if you want a rough idle.[/B] [/QUOTE]
