Thats one of the reasons I chose the X2 over the X3, I wanted a cam on a 112lsa, and if the cam was so close that it would fit on a 114lsa but not a 112lsa, than I figured it was a little too close for comfort for me. I do wonder what that cams like, but I'm pretty happy with the X2. Don't see it worth the trouble to change now

What I meant to say, was if the 112lsa woudlnt fit with out flycutting, than the 114lsa will fit, but must be real close....too close for comfort for me. The 112lsa is so close....it doesnt fit :p

I love mine as well.... still need to work on other mods to get the full power from mine but i wouldnt trade it for any other that i have seen!!! And by the way it shakes my car pretty damn good... for sure more than stock!!
you can use the 112 on the X3 with stock heads, it's close but doesn't hit. We have a guy here that runs the X3 on a 112, he now has a forged 347 and he flycut the pistons, but he ran it on stock heads just fine. You just have to be precise on installing that cam, that's why Lou doesn't like to sell it too much, if it's just a tad off, eyebrows are coming

Oh well, both cams seem to be good performers, I'm happy with mine......though I've only had it a month and a cam hasn't lasted long than 2 months in my car before its time for a set-up change so...

. Hey the more you beat me the better, cause im prolly going with a bigger cam and maybe heads and thats alot of money fo sho so it better be impressive You ever drive down to san antonio? or maybe any austin meets?
I have a bottle on top of my set up (480rwhp) and i think you should be able to beat me even on spray. What a cool video to do and make a complete post about with videos (i dont mind doing it too even if I lose who cares! just love playing around
)Let me know what you think.. did you say you dynoed your car too? what did it do? Any track times? super interested

its not any bigger, then LSA is the degrees of speration, or distance so to speak, between the lobes. So if you imagine looking at a cam, all the lobes, on a 112lsa the intake and exhaust lobes are going to be slightly closer together, as opposed to a 114lsa cam. Duration and lift remains the same, that is not changed by the LSA
Now imagine the piston moving up and down the cylinder and a vlave over that opening and closing, if the piston comes to the top, and the valve starts to open slitghtly earlier, due to the LSA being tigheter (meaning the valve opens sooner) than you might have clearance issuse whereas if the cam was on a 114 lsa, the valve would open slightly later, and the piston might already be on its way down, providing a little more clearance
Thats probably not the best description, just trying to get the general idea across. hope that made a little sense

I can't remember how you dyno'd but I think I recognize your car....Dave and Nitro Daves was telling me about you tuning there, and pretty excited about the numbers you put down, I could be mistake though. You have a Nitro Daves sticker on your back windshiled?

When I got my X2 last December, they were selling the complete cam kit for $949 + shipping. I think they wanted like $1100 for the kit with the Comp 921 doubles though.
