I don't think the LSA is the only culprit on the idle problem, but it's certainly a contributing factor. The E303 isn't real great at making idle vacuum, which is a common problem for a cam with an LSA of 110. I think the problem is compounded by the LCA being uneven. exgmguy found creating a vacuum leak solved his idle woe's, which makes me think the offset LCA may be causing a somewhat inconsistant vacuum reading at idle, which would play with the computer.
Hey, something we agree on.

Also, I don't think 500rwhp or 600 crank hp with a supercharged 302 is anything to sneeze at. The rest of the combo might have made 350hp for Dan or Nic. Supercharger boost was about 9psi, non-intercooled. So they were picking up 250hp from 9psi. That's a serious gain.


9 psi on top of 350 hp should make around 600 hp, however, I dont believe your average e-cammed, 9psi blown car is making anywhere near 600 hp. Sorry, just aint happening.
