Default cam selection
What cam should I use to acheave a rough idle, I enjoy the sound of a rough idle. And is there any downside to having a rough idle? any input would greatly be appreciated.

I seen your name viewing the thread and I KNEW you were going to say something smart! LoL HahA

Anyway, a B cam with 1.7 rockers will give you a nice idle/gain a few ponies and still remain great driveability.

Duration gives you a rough idle not lift. Also please don't get a cam just cause it sounds "Cool"
