Lairy cams do of course make a difference as they not only create charge dilution at low piston speeds but they also drop the intake velocity down drastically which greatly affects mixture distribution. The affect on mixture distribution often needs to be offset somewhat by an excellent quality plug with a bigger gap. I am sure you have all noticed a quality Iridium plug with run a CVH and a YB better at 15:1 that some iron girder like 071 or C57 plug that make them sound like they are hunting at idle and cruise? You wouldn't be mapping too rich to save fitting good spark plugs and ignition systems obviously... LOL
The interesting thing I note from all the mappers on this topic talking about the engine likes this AFR, and it dislikes that AFR, etc, is that nobody has mentioned they adjust the fuelling tables and then the spark lead tables?
You guys do know the combustion initiation and burn speed at 13:1 is different to 14.x and 15.x:1 don't you? You cant just dial fuel in and say.. "Ah, thats better" what you probably did, was correct an incorrect advance map by changing the burn speed to something more suited to your spark map so of course it sounds better.
I am sure the missing spark advance discussion was just an oversight of course...

Interesting point about the plugs Stu, can you recommend me an Iridium plug for my CVH please? I currently use NGK BCR8E's
