cammed lope
i recently installed Brian Crower 272s and i dont really notice much of a lope at idle. is this to be expected? or is the lope still in the works?

booo. wish i would have known that before i bought them haha. occasionally itll lope a bit, but then it goes back to a smoother idle. i only have about 230 miles on them right now.

every setup and different brand/size cams will differ. target idle also plays a roll (forgot to add that) my old hks 272's will purr like stock with an idle set around 1k and an afr around 15 with timing around 38* (all of this in ecuflash). if i richen it up and get the afr down to around 14.2-14.5 and lower the target idle to around 850rpm and retard the timing a bit the cams stomp the ground and actually rock the car back and forth at redlights.
you will just have to play with these 3 things a bit to get the sound you like if thats what your after. be warned though messing with these things will make the car want to stall at idle with ac on.
heres a video of my car idling. my cams with the tune its on right now hits a harder lick than my buddies old talon with comp 280's in it.

yea car is not tuned with the cams yet. gotta patch up some exhaust leaks first. im not too worried about stalling with the A/C on, it did that before the cams lol. and thanks for the tuning info.

here is a example https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ound-like.html of lope on stock cams he even goes so far as to pull the valve cover off because he and every one else thought he had cams.

How much advance can be run safely/without causing other issues at idle?

As said, tuning can make the cams lope more or less. On my car, my Cossie M2's have no lope at 1k rpm, 12° timing and no MIVEC advance. But at 850rpm, 3-5° of timing and 6° of MIVEC advance, they start getting some lope. Also, leaner mixtures produce more lope, not richer. I have a switch in the car to change between 14.7 and 15.5 target AFR's for closed loop operation and there's more lope at 15.5.
