On a116+0 it will peak in the 6300 neighbourhood and rev till past 6800
Advance it 116=2 and then midrange trq comes back into play while still carrying past 6600.
I used to run a 224/220 116+0 and it was very smooth (nervous rapid chopchop), but good number capability and netted 11.3 H/C with 11.0:1 SCR
The 224/224 will act the same but be a little more exhaust biased.

I would prefer a 115+1
see it has to do with EVO
116+4 has EVO of 52 pushing trq band higher up (less in midrange)
while the 115+1 has an EVO of 48 which will be more pronounced in midrange
with a -6 overlap it is still in the good idle not to choppy spectrum.

Do you like this more than the 116+2 ?

Yes..
just remember that cams need to be degreed to make sure it is installed on that ICL.
And before you ask, dot to dot doesn't necessarily mean it is on that ICL even if in the grind. An adjustable t-chain is necessary.

u want a smooth idle? Get some new motor mounts.

man you need alot to learn about cams. what do motor mounts have to do with an idle behavior? sorry thats wrong info. A 112LSA will rock the car period.Anyway, yankeevert...yes you will have a silk smooth idle with the 116LSA. You basically lose a little low end grunt. Most of your powerband will be up high.

I don't mean to change subjects here, but could he install adjustable cam bushings to change the ICL? I've seen them before, but don't know how they're favored in the LS1 world.

I know this because i did that exact thing on the first cam upgrade on my vette. then i swapped to a 224/228@114. it has lope but the car still idles smooth inside.
Thanks
