Default Cam?

Newb question but here goes. I've been pretty much set on a cam with a 112 lsa b/c i like the sound (slightly loppy + better#s) but I also want a cam with loads of Under the curve tourqe!! My question is for example lets take the TR224 112 and the 114 lsa's...will the 114's tourqe kick in earlier but achieve lower #'s overall ..while the 112 will be bumped up slightly higher in the RPM band but have higher over-all #'s??? i've having a hard time deciding but if anybody would like to break down these cam's i've been looking at in order of choice.. that would be most appceciated...
1. TR 224 112
2. VHP 062 (ASP kicker too)
3. VHP 055 (the boss)
4. FM 11
5. TR 224 114
and there was a comp cam that looked really nice but can't rem it...
Goal is to be streetable, as close to 400rwhp/rwtq as possiible stock heads, nice loppy idle but not too much, and stay within 6500 RPM. ANY SUGGESTIONS THX

Hey:

112 will have more power under 6200rpm....then the 114! The 114 will extend the power band alittle more up top then the 112....and is better if you have to pass emissions. Do a search on this cam....I have and found alot ofthe ?'s you are asking.....were answered!!! Please do not be upset.....I say hello and welcome.....just do a search on the 224 112/114 cam...lots of info.



Later

I think it will be veryhard if not impossible to get 400 rwtq with just a cam change.

It is very possible to achieve 400 foot pounds of torque with a NITROUS OXIDE KIT.
