Default Lsa ?

I was wondering about the lopeyness of these 224 cams. I see alot of people running them and was wondering at what LSA do they start to lope pretty good. I want to be able to drive the car but i want that sound with it.

get one on a 112, and get the idle set right and it will sound good.

112. No big deal to drive at all. No surging or anything. Very easy to drive in rush hour traffic and it has a little bark. Look at TA Pics in my sig. There's a dyno graph in there somewhere. Don't make the mistake of going with the 114. JMO.

Why is the 114 a mistake? Not being difficult. Sincerely curious.

The 114 has little less lope than the 112 that is why he is calling it a mistake. The 114 still has a lope to it with the idle set at the stock idle but the 112 has nice noticible idle.

my tr224 114 with a 600 (550 is stock) rpm idle would tremble the car at red lights. literally the whole car would shake. it also would die coming to most stops. i had to two foot drive. my tuner bumped it up to 700 rpm. now its smooth during warm-up but once it settles to 700 it has a gentle smooth lope, but you can tell it has a cam. no mistake.

Thats good to know. Thanks guys. Does the LSA have anything to do with when the cam hits powerband? Sorry if thats a dumb question.
