sorry for this question, but why the auto should run the 114 and the m6 should run the 112??. i was thinking to go with this cam, but i don't know which one to choose, i know the 112 would be more lopey, but i'll also go with a 100 shot dry, and i was wonder if the 114 would be a little bit better..??

This cam is a tried and proven cam. Small by today standards, but still makes great street power. I am running the 114 on a 6 spd. I did this so I wouldn't have any idle issues and better for emissions when that time comes. The torque curve is very nice. You will not be unhappy with this cam, especially if it is a daily driver. Other bigger cams work too, but need gears and other supporting mods. Others will tell you to go bigger. Look at what your needs are etc., only you can determine that.

Gotta love VA for what you can do with exhaust, which is just about anything

Southern Va has been playing with testing the exhaust pipe emissions. Northern Va, on the other hand does perform this test, only a matter of time. Plus my gearing also dictated where my power band needed to be. Here is what it is in www.ls1miata.net/gallery
I am using this same cam in a ls6 383 and a better set of heads.

Sounds great!!! I have 4 mufflers on it. 2 bullets and 2 magnaflows. You can have a nice conversion without it being annoying. Top up or down. In 6th gear at highway speed you can barely hear it. It has a sound of it own. Not quite like a vette or f-body. More like a older muscle car. I am running the stock style suspension. I just went up in the spring rates to help with the extra 250lbs. of added weight. Handing isn't bad either. I have some understeer, but I can fix that with the gas and some suspension tuning. Still pulling it together.

Gotta love that Aluminum LS1! Only 250 lbs over a Miata engine... That's wild. What's your drive train? Did you bolt a T56 to the back of it and have to cut a new shifter hole in the console? And if so, where does the LS1 drive train meet the Miata drive train, at the tranny U-joint? When I think of all the stuff I did to build up the 10-bolt and try to picture the Miata rearend trying to put that LS1 power to the street, I keep picturing violent explosions and a liberal spray of pinion teeth.

Ls1 emgine, t56 trans, f-body shortened aluminum drive shaft 28 1/4", to a 7.5" ford t-bird rear end and moded axles. Suspension is stock, but upgraded. The engine was moved 2"'s into the firewall, to help offset the weigh gain. Take a look at my site....it will answer all your ?'s. www.ls1miata.net/gallery
