For more of a racy/lopy idle, go with a tight lobe separation 106 -108 vs 112 - 114 degrees. This provides much higher peak hp and a really good sounding engine both at idle with its lope, as well as at high rpm under load. Most people only think of gross duration, but if you go too high there, it will kill low end torque. Talk with Crane or Comp Cams about lobe separation angle. they can tell you all the details. Or do a oogle search.
