If you mean LSA, I'd go with the 114 for a better idle and streetability...especially if it's an A4 car.

I have a TR224 on a 114 and it's a damn good cam (I have an A4). I opted for the following parts when I had my cam installed

-Double roller timing chain
-Comp 918's (blue)
-TR Chromoly Pushrods (7.400)
-Comp Titanium retainers
-LS6 ported Oil Pump (dont forget a new o-ring).

I spent $400 on lifetime(their lifetime, not mine ) LS1edit tuning through a local speedshop.

I have the 224 on a 114, I am a M6, I could of went with a 112 but even without tuning my idle was perfect on the 114, I like this cam, pulls hard up top, it feels like I lost a little bit of torque but when the 410's go in I think that will make up for it. just my opinion.

Maybe its in my head, havent had it dynoed, but yeah, it feels like the stock cam had a little more low end but as soon as I go past 2500 rpm It pulls like crazy all the way up 6600

If you have a chance and you're going to test it see if they'll start up the dyno at 2k. I've heard rumors of good results with this grind.
