TR 224 cam a 114 or a 112
Re: TR 224 cam a 114 or a 112 I too would like to know. I have heard/read that the 112 LSA makes more power in the mid-range than the 114 LSA. However, I noticed in a HOT-ROD article that J. Massingil(SAMS Camaro) ran 113 LSA's up until breaking the into the low 11's et. If someone could shed some light on splitting the differnce between 112 and 114 LSA.

Re: TR 224 cam a 114 or a 112 Generally, the 114lsa cam is going to move the peaks up 150-300rpm or so, assuming all other specs are equal. It seems that a lot of people find the only real noticeable difference is in the idle quality, though. I can't personally say since I've never had 2 identical cams with different LSA's (although I've tried my fair share of cams).
Thunder Racing would probably be the best source to get the pros/cons of each one, since it is their cam.

I can shift faster than you.

Re: TR 224 cam a 114 or a 112 There are some slight differences between the two cams. The 112 lsa will make slightly better midrange and peak about 100-200rpms lower than the 114lsa. The 114lsa cam will idle slightly better.
I am running the TR 224 114lsa cam in my car. Since I launch at 5k w/ 4.30 gears and my car rarely sees much lower than that at the track, I chose the 114lsa cam. From 5k-6800rpms, the 114lsa will make just a little more power. I have been extremely happy with how the cam performs with the stock heads.
It is all in the combination and what you are looking for out of the car. Please be a little more specific and I can see if can help you choose the best cam for your setup.

Re: TR 224 cam a 114 or a 112 I've got the TR 224 on a 112 LSA. The idle is superb and mine is only set at 750 rpms (A4). If I knew it was going to be this smooth, I would have gotten a bigger cam. The idle is much cleaner than my old Lunati 221/224 113 LSA cam. For an automatic, I could really stand to have as much mid-range as possible. The 112 LSA gives me an advantage over the 114 LSA cam in my opinion.
