Default a few ?'s on the ms3 cam

im ordering monday from tsp cam package with spring and pushrods, however having a hard time chosing lobe seperation, cam will be with a 3600 stall, lid, LT's and as of now 323's gears. Im sure i will put a plate kit on in in the future for spray, but im not sure which lobe seperation to choose which would be better for motor or which would be better for spray, im choosing between 112,or 113. thanks

The higher LSA is generally a little better for nitrous.
