I am in the process of a HCI build-up. I already have AFR 165's (cleaned up on exhaust), ported and gasket matched cobra intake, BBK longtubes (1-5/8), Dr. Gas 2-1/2" X-pipe. I plan on running 24# injectors with a C&L 76 mm mass air.
My question is on camshaft selection. I am looking at the comp cams XE270HR. There are two versions of the cam with different lobe separations. One is 112* and the other is 114*. The specs are 218/224 @.050 and .512/.512 with a 1.6 rocker. From what I vaguely understand is that the lower the l/s (112*) the more power it makes in higher rpm. Conversely the higher the l/s is the beter it will idle. I would like the cam to idle well without headaches, and a chip will come later in time. Would a 114* l/s be a better choice or can I get away with a 112*?
Would the 112* make more power than the 114*?
