Moving it to 113ICL KILLED it, idled rough, "lazy" in the normal driving range, "soft" on 60' times and down 2mph on top end.

Here's the real SHOCKER. Moving it to 107ICL KILLED it even worse. Desptie the fact that everyone regurgitates the "advance the cam for more low end torque" deal, it ran WORSE at 107ICL than at 109 and 111.

Superficially it seemed a little more responsive right off idle and very light throttle driving the car, but a complete TURD at the track with good traction.

Goes back to someone telling us a LONG time ago how sensitive these engines can be to the intake closing point.......FWIW.......
Cliff,
While that is great information about a Crower RAIV cam with out having a Cam Dr file of the Crower RAIV cam we have no way of knowing how that applies to the Crane or NOS RAIV cams.
