Default Which LSA???

Hey guy's just been reading through some threads and noticed and a very popular cam for a stock head LS1 is 224/224 with either 112 or 114 LSA's. I'm looking at getting the same for mine but on 110 LSA.What difference will it make. I thought the reason you guy's use the 112 or 114 might be because of emmision's? Not a problem here in Aus thankfully.

Cheers!

The 110 should get the cam to peak 300 to 400 rpm lower than the 114, but it will also have a rougher idle and a more peaky power band. You'll probably also get more missfire codes at idle, but you edit that out. There is no difference in peak horsepower.

just stick with the 112 , 110's are nice for lope but a 112 is more practical.

I think a my custom 224 XE-R on a 113 LSA is actually the best of both worlds (112 vs 114)

No difference in power hugh. How many cars with 224 cams make 406 peak rwtq on stock heads and 380+ rwtq onstock heads from 3000 rpm up. Put that cam on a 110lsa, you will not be sorry. Being able to tune with ls1 edit does help with cams with more overlap (lower lsa) so be for warned.

Thanks for the reply's.

Bringing the peak power down lower in the rev range sound's good and getting a good tune won't be a problem.

Any other comment's?

Are you manual or auto?


If you want I have a TR 230/224 110 that I'm not using anymore.

PM me if you are interested.

Idle nightmares.Depending on your car use ie: What is the powerband needed for your application? That is one of the perimeters that determine lsa choice.

JRP,

No I don't have a clip, digital camera only has movies no sound....I like for the car to sound mild and with my SLP dual/dual it's pretty quiet.
