[DeTomaso] Wrong cam with Webers....

[B. Seib]

Actually Will, those cams you're running have an LSA of 110, which is not
nearly as radical as LSA of 106.
The ICL for them is 106 not the LSA.

I have posted this before, butŠ

I ran my car with a CompCams 282S and currently with a 294S.

These are old school solid lifter cams with "mild rough idle" and "rough
idle" descriptions.  I don't have the specs handy, but they are on a
106deg lobe separation and they have a lot of overlap.

My car had the usual mean Pantera idle with a Holley.  When I switched to
Webers, the idle completely smoothed out.  I can't imagine it getting any
smoother with a wider lobe separation, and to be honest I don't want it
smoother.

I haven't run it hard (on a dyno) to watch the reversion, but I plan on it
once I get the car together.

My point is that I disagree that a wide LSA is needed with Webers to
smooth out the idle.  I am sure that it helps with reversion and may make
more power, but how much smoother can it get?
