Is it possible to adjust a tune in a manner that, in effect, mellows out a camshaft?

My cam is a 224/238 on a 116 LSA; I wouldn't say its an exceptionally agressive camshaft but it has more lope day in day out then I'd like.

I would prefer this route vs. buying/installing a new camshaft.

 

How bout turning the idle up a touch?

 

already up, 800rpm

 

Yes you can tune to smooth the camshaft lope out. You'd be surprised how much you can have it cleaned up. That cam with -1* overlap should sound pretty smooth tuned right.

 

the under and over idle spark tables can mellow or make it more lopey depending on how you adjust them.

 

oh wow, that's good news! how do I do that?

 

like I said great news....can someone point me in the right direction? I have HPTuners btw...

 

I am working on a write up which will apply to hpt with some tweeks. In the mean time you could also adjust the idle timing. Move timing up or down 0.5* at a time and long intake vacuum. What your looking for is the higjest number. That will be you best timing at idle. Also adding 2% to the ve or maf (if applicable) in the idle cells helps smooth it out too. Richer mixture are more mellow than leaner.

 

thanks again brother!

 

Does this have a TVS on it?
Do you have E10% in your area?
