The 114 will have a broader powerband with smoother idle. The 112 will have a narrower powerband with a bit of choppy idle

The 112 LSA will make more power down low. The 114 LSA will idel better. That is why they run a 114 LSA on Automatic cars.

the 112 cam is better performance, 114 is a little easier to tune with cats.
