"If you have the lobe separation there, it's the amount of degrees between opening of the intake valve versus opening the exhaust valve.

A cam with a lobe separation of say 114 degrees or 116 degrees would probably completely close the intake valve before it opens the exhaust valve. This gives a smooth idle.

A cam with a lobe separation of say 108 or 110 would allow (for example) the exhaust valve to start opening when the intake valve was not all the way closed. This is part of the cause for really lopey radical idle engines."

How do I find out the above? They did not give me a part no for the cam. I tried going to Comp Cam site to check it out but could not find it. I think I'll just call EF next week.
