I've got a 228/232 on a 110lsa, all I can say is you better have a DAMN good tuner if you don't want idle issues, ie; bucking, surging, etc. I've had mine at two very reputable shops and still have issues. When their 400 miles away it's not like you can stop by there to get you tune tweaked. I did go to one of the shops twice trying to get it better.

This cam was recommended to me by Patrick G as I wanted a cam with great torque. It does sound good and runs good, but the idle issues make me wish I had gone with a 114lsa. I'm thinking about getting a smaller cam so I can get my driveability back. Nothing like buck jumping and then dying at stop lights to really **** ya off.

A 110 LSA would be the worst at idle and off idle. The lower the LSA the higher it moves your power band.
I'd go at least a 114LSA and you'll still here it.

Yes, that's the biggest problem I had with mine, with the a/c on. Pulling up to a stop if would go from 200 rpm to 1200 about 3 times before it would find idle. I had already made two 800 mile roundtrips to try to get it resolved but never did. It's hard to make trips that far with hotel bills and taking off work, I just tried to learn to live with it. If you have a tuner close you have a
great advantage. I can almost guarantee you you'll see him several times before he gets it spot on.

I recently had a auto conversion done so my gf could drive it, and expressed my concerns about driveability numerous times to the salesman. He told me auto's were much easier to tune being they are under load all the time. I have come to the conclusioin he's full of sh*t as a Christmas turkey. Having worse issues now with this cam then I was, hence wanting to get something smaller. Good luck with yours.
