- Increase cranking compression
- Idle vacuum and quality is reduced
- Valve overlap increases
- Decreases piston-to-valve clearance
Wider LSA:
- Raise torque to higher rpm
- Reduces maximum torque
- Broadens powerband
- Decrease chance of engine knock
- Decrease cranking compression
- Idle vacuum and quality is improved
- Valve overlap decreases
- Increases piston-to-valve clearance
