If you have the automatic, then get the 114 lsa. The lower the lobe separation, the more lurching you have (read: lope) in an automatic. Yes, you do need new springs for sure. The 114 would be great on a bolt on car. It will be drivable, but if you want it OEM drivable, you need to get a good tune. It's another $500. GL to you.

If I were you and was doing this cam swap I would recommend these items.

Harderend/Chrome-moly Pushrods
918 Springs
Titanium Retainers

Are u doing the install or taking it somewhere? If taking it somewhere they will get your gaskets and stuff. If your doing it yourself, you will need gaskets and alot of time to offer.

Goodluck and hope you like the turnout.

You don't really need Ti retainers....or hardened pushrods. I ran my TR cam with stock pushrods and stock retainers and it was fine. I'm even running my XE-R cam with stock retainers. 918 springs have such a small retainer, that the Ti ones are barely lighter. Just order some 918 springs and if you have an extra 100 bucks, get the pushrods.

I'm with this guy. It would be nice to have, but your cam choice is fairly mild, so you can get by with out. The comp 918 springs are an absolute must though, don't try to sneek through w/ out them. You're not running a whole lot of lift, (I'm going w/ .600"), so the 918s should be a bullet proof choice that you'll never have to worry about. GL on your build.
