LSA at a Glance

Narrower LSA:
  • Moves torque to lower rpm
  • Increases maximum torque
  • Narrow powerband
  • Increase chance of engine knock
  • 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
