Camshaft ???

Has anyone every used a camshaft w/ a 110 degree Lobe Seperation in a TPI car??? I am about to do a cam swap and was wanting to know if this would work. If I had the chip burned for the cam would the computer have any problems w/ this cam?? I know it would be a rough idle, but how rough??? and how streetable would this be. It is going in a built 350 TPI for my 86 Camaro. Would I have enough vacuum at idle?? Thanks

it depends on the total duration. A cam with a 112 lsa and 8 degrees more duration will effectivly have the same issues as a cam with 110lsa. It's all relative. Put it this way, a HOT LT4 cam would probably not pass emission with a 110 lsa but something around 212 intake/220 exhaust probably could.
