Default 112 or 114 LSA?

I'm thinking of the comp cam 224/224 .581/.581. I've been leaning towards the 112 LSA since I have a M6. What are the pros and cons of each? Hows the driveability with the 112 LSA with tuning and w/out tuning. Would the 114 LSA have less driveability problems? ie surging, codes thrown? Would I lose that much HP with a 114 LSA? Any answers will be much appreciated.

With longtube headers and low backpressure 112* is the way to go. With out all that 114* will run about the same with cleaner idle and exhaust.

I do have TPIS longtubes. So the driveability will be good with the 112?

The 114 will idle smoother and will not tip the dealer off that you are cammed.

Now that is something to definitely think about. Would I be losing much with 114 LSA in HP? Do you really think I could get by at the dealership with the 114 LSA. I was stupid enough to get the extended warranty(5yr/75,000 mile). My car is a 2002SS which leaves lots of time on the warranty. I was going to say screw it and hope for the best and go ahead and install the cam. If I can get by with the 114 LSA that would be great. ARe you sure they can't EASILY tell that this 114 cam is in there.

Call the 1-800# for GM customer service and tell them that you wish to cancel the Extended warrenty - they will pro-rate towards current mialage and time in service however you will receive the check in about a week. Don't count on any warrenty work from your dealer - My dealer accused me of racing because my car has NHRA badging on it?!? Lol nevermind that it is the NHRA Special Edition. After we got past that they had a fit over my ASP pully - first they claimed it drove the oil pump and once I got them to admit that it doesn't they claimed that it 'ballanced' the motor. But back to the subject here - Mine was 36 months/100000 miles (I was driving 200 miles a day when bought) I canceled the warrenty - paid 2100 for it - had the car 15 months and 19000 miles - got 1200 back. Looking into the 114 on a m6 here from the refund <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I tried this. I called the number. They told me I couldn't get a lump sum back. They would either take like $10 bucks off each payment or at the end I would just have 2 fewer payments. I can't remember which, but I decided not to go ahead and do this.

Also have to consider emissions.

A 112 will pass depending on cam and tuning.

Will I have less surging with the 114 over the 112. I have a huge hydraulic cam in my big block Chevelle. It does a lot of surging. I want great driveability. I want this cam to let it idle good, AC work well at a stoplight, but come on like a **** when I floor it.

The way I understand this LSA thing is this. You won't necessarily lose power going to a 114* over a 112. A 114 will just hit peak power a few hundred RPM's higher than a 112 will. How much do you wanna spin it? I went 112 for a more choppy idle and the fact that I don't want to go 6600-7K for peak power. Want a bit smoother idle? Go 114. Want a bit of rumpety-rump? Go 112.

I went from an MTI "X1"

230/227 .591/.571 112lsa

to a

Comp cams

214/218 .540/.550 114lsa

This new one idles like stock, you can't even tell I have a cam in the car, but it sure makes good power with the blower... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I love the X1 Cam and its bad. Sounds sweet, and really makes good power! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
