Camshaft query

[David B]

I'm rebuilding my CSL engine. I'm increasing the compression ratio to 10:1 with custom JE pistons, and I'm also thinking of installing a higher performing camshaft. However, I've been warned that a 'hotter" cam could make the car run lumpy, because of little adjustment in the engine management to accomodate a racier camshaft.
I don't know if this advice is right. Would it be better to enhance performance with an improved exhaust system?
I wonder what experience others have of this.
Thanks for reading. Any advice appreciated.

I have a Schrick 284 cam and it idles fine, really opens up the engine >3000 rpm. I also have 3x Webers and headers. @sfdon could tell you how the Schrick works on an injected engine.

Do you mean “idle lumpy”? The car won’t “run lumpy“ with a cam.
if it’s the idle that you’re worried about, just turn the idle adjustment screw at the base of the throttle body.

i had a schrick 316 cam on a 2002 that Korman built. that had a funky idle that the 45dcoes could never cure, but 3000 to 7200 rpm it screamed
