Default Is a 112 lsa cam harder on springs than a 114 lsa

Is a 112 lsa cam harder on springs than a 114 lsa. The cam being the tr224. How often would I have to replace valve spring with a 112 LSA cam?

If the lobe profiles are the same on both cams 112 lsa is not going to be any harder on valve springs than one on 114 lsa or any other LSA!

Lobe profile has the biggest effect on spring wear. LSA just changes the angle between the intake and exaust valves causing them to open or close, sooner or later.

Lobe profile, rocker ratio, valve train wieght and rpm combined determine how long the springs will last.
