Wide LSA cam help boost compression??
this is a question that ive thought of,lots of guys have low compression engine,and want hi-po cam,well if they put a LSA cam of say 110-108 wouldnt that lead to lower compression,beacuse of more valve overlap?where as wider LSA of 112-116 would help keep up compression or maybe increase it .5 because of less vaLve overlap??also what of advancing & retarding cam ,how would that affect compression??anyone ever try running heads without gaskets to boost compression??the permatex people ran a race car in some stock car race back in the 60'swith no gaskets ,only thier stuff in the tube, to seal up motor. i think , i wonder what they used to seal up the heads to block?
