Default Feedback wanted: Driveablilty difference between 112lsa and 114lsa

Just like the title says, I would like feedback from owners on the driveability difference between a 112lsa cam and a 114lsa.

Thanks

It's all in the tuning! A 112 will idle rougher than a 114 and may need to be idled at a higher RPM but a good tuner can make any cam driveable.

Can't speak for the 112 but my 114 has a nice slight lope and 0 driveability issues...we did kick the idle up a bit on both normal and A/C settings but thats it

All else being equal, the 112 LSA cam will be a little choppier at idle, but you'll get more power under the curve and better VE with it vs. the 114. I have a 223/227 112 cam in my A4 car with the idle set at 825 rpm and it idles just fine within 1-2 minutes after startup. Just driving around it's really no different than stock.

Thanks, I decided to go with the 112 lsa version of the cam for exactly that reason.
