Default How come autos. use 114 LSA & manuals use 112 LSA?

Ive been noticing more/most automatic equipped cars using a 114 LSA on the cam and the manual tranny equipped cars using 112. Im currently running the MTI C2 cam which consists of a 112 LSA, is it going to affect anything when I convert over to an auto.? (200-4R) I dont see why the type of tranny has anything to do with the LSA. Im sure theres a good explanation for this. Will I need to change anything with the cam when I do so? Will I need to advance or retard it? Thanks

Basically, A4 idles a bit slower than an M6.
I'm sure there are more technical reasons...

On a stock tune, yes and auto idles lower than a manual. It becomes more an issue if the auto car has stock stall (the closer your idle gets to stall speed, the more creap you're going to get sitting at a stoplight). As a rule, a tighter LSA will require a higher idle all things being equal. That's why most autos go with a 114.

A4's are very PICKY about there idle. 114 idles better or is easier to dail in with a A4 as compared to a 112.

my car has been weird every since i added a stall. Throw a cam in with that stall and the PCM doesnt know WTF to think

1. Will there need to be any adjustments made whatsoever after the swap?

2. What kind of changes/differences should I experience if I dont mess with it at all?

3. Do autos. perform better with a bigger/wider LSA?

4. Will I be risking anything swapping from one to another?

Thanks everyone for your help!
