Difference between 114 and 112 LSA I"m thinking about getting a FM 13 cam but not sure if i should get the 112 or 114. other than the idle is there any differnence in performance. and which would you guys reccomend
The 112 will give you a little more power than the 114. With a good tune you shouldn't have many driveabilty issues. Jrp has some dyno charts compareing differant lsa's on the same lift/durration cams maybe he will chime in with them. My choice would be the 112lsa.

-moves torque to lower rpm
-increases maximum torque
-narrows power band
-builds higher cylinder pressure
-increases chance of engine knock
-increases cranking compression
-increases effective compression
-idle vacuum is reduced
-idle quality suffers
-open valve overlap increases
-closed valve overlap increases
-natural EGR effect increases
-decreased piston to valve clearance
All depends on what you want from your setup and what you can live with. Keep us informed with what you go with.
