Default 112 or 114 lsa for DD? *Poll*

I'm going to pickup a 228R cam next month but im confused on the lobe separation. I don't really understand what this means except for one doesn't have as choppy of a idle as the other and is more street friendly... But what does it do, is it 112 would have a greater peak power then the 114? or what? How many people have 112s for there separations for daily drivers? This would be tuned of course after the cam install is done but would it sound more like a "cammed" car then if I went with 114 instead? I'm looking for a good drivable daily driver on the streets, but also wouldn't mind if it was a choppy idle sound. In fact I would probably rather it. What would you guys say and what does it do the powerband for the lobe separation?

I DD a 232/234 on a 112 with no problems. The 112 should have a better, more usable power band than the 114. 112 will chop more at idle. Plus, since you're M6 I'd say definitely go 112.

This is what im hoping to hear haha. I wanna go with a 112, it sounds better, and ive heard its better somehow for powerband but I haven't understood that part yet. I just wanna make sure its fine to drive due to the sound that we all love.

A 112 LSA is definately choppier , and it starts to make it's power sooner than the 114 LSA .

my 117 chops through headers, go with the 112. There is a graph on here somewhere comparing the two; but, I don't think there was a huge peak difference.

230-234 on a 111 here. 112 will come in sooner as said and peak earlier if you don't want to spin too high. I shift at 6500.

Real men have 112s!!! Just kidding, imo the 112 is much more fun on the street! Plus I like a nasty idle!

112 all the way. The 114 will just push the power band forward to the point where compared to the same grind/lobes on a 112, the 112 will be better on the street and also the track

Its all in the tune. My cam is on a 110 and drives just fine with stock gears.
You shouldn't have a problem with a 112

I have a 110lsa ASA cam in my WS6 M6 and daily drove it... Just couldn't turn the A/C on in stop and go traffic lol. I'm stickin with it for now even in the new motor, might go with a 112lsa on an MS3 if I swap to that... Depends on if I get this promotion and can afford my FI goals soon than I planned

232/234 here, I split the difference and went with a 113+0. But for your application I'd get it on a 112 w/ maybe some advance ground into it! i.e. 112+1, 112+2, etc. Buddy of my has a TSP 228 on a 112+1 and runs really well on the street and @ the track! It's all in the tune when you come down to it though, so if you like the "choppy" idle, go with it and find a good tuner!!
