Just to keep confusion down, lobe seperation angle is not the same as overlap.

no its not, but they are similar, yeayea, over lap has to do with duration, lsa, and such yea... but uh... lets not confuse him too too much, lol

if what your looking for is sound, then i would say **** the abc cams. your running a stock longblock right? id say go with the #18 steeda w/ a 112l.s.a. it should sound better than the #19

youll get the most lope by going online and finding a soundclip and playing it over and over again

i think sound should be the last thing on your mind... i have a cam that outperforms all 4 of the mentioned cams(for my set up) that doesnt sound like it would...

anyway, biggest factor in "lope" is going to be LSA(or over lap), and the intake lobe profile...

i have 218 intake, which isnt big by anymeans and it lopes some

you don't hear the intake side...

Lope comes from duration + lsa. More lope = more duration + less LSA
