hey i tried searching, but cant really find the answers i was looking for.

I'm thinking of purchasing the TSP 224R (224/224 .581/.581) cam and was wondering about the LSA's. I cant decide whether or not to go with a 112, or the 114. The 112 says "choppy idle" and the 114 says "smooth idle." Well how choppy is choppy, and how smooth is smooth. I will unfortunately be running without a tune for probably a month, and i dont want to have to rev it up at idle to keep it running, but i want a noticeable lope to it.

opinions?

oh by the way i will be daily driving this with my 98 ws6 that will have LT's, TD's, Lid, smooth bellows. And I dont care about gas mileage, or any of that bs because thats for people who dont want to go fast.
I wanna go fast.

 

well since you wanna go fast why dont you go with something bigger??? but naw i would go with the 112 b/c i meen with td's your gonna hear it no matter what and witht he 112 it will be a more agressive came but not by much

 

thats what i was thinking. I want a choppy idle, but i was just wondering if the 112's "choppy idle" would be too much to run happily on the stock tune.

 

You should be fine on a stock tune for a while with that cam on either the 112 or 114, id go 112, maybe even get a slightly larger cam

 

yeah i say go with something like 228 or if your going to keep stock heads maybe go with a reverse split cam

 

i will be keeping stock heads for probably another year- year and a half. I do daily drive the car, so it needs to be easily driven. However, i really love a nice lope, but again i dont want the car to stall out, or need to be feathered at idle. I figured a 224 would be a good driveable cam, but give me decent power. Would something like the TSP228 be better suited for this, and still give me good driveablilty on the stock tune?

 

the TR cam is the same cam that Comp Cam offers: 224/224 .581/.581

I have that exact cam with a 112 lsa and i think you would like the 112lsa...

click on the links in my sig and hear for yourself...

well i meen with a smaller cam you SHOULD have it be a better drivability car but i meen it all depends on the person but some guys on here are driving their ms4s on stock tunes for over a month so i meen its all up to what you can handle

 

that sounds awesome! and is no where near as choppy as i had expected

edit* forgot to ask...will the 228 be ok with stock heads?

 

you should not have any issues with a 228, but you should always car test first to make sure you have no PTV clearance issues...

also, you will have to upgrade your heads with dual springs, bases, retainers, and pushrods whenever you do a cam swap. also you need to upgrade to an Ls2 timing cam and Ls6 oil pump...

 

is there a link to a thread on how to measure piston to valve clearances?

 

yes no maybe?
