LSA impact?
Going on the basis of duration and lift will/would not change.
The question I am wondering is will I see any real difference in HP and/or Torque between the 114 or 112 or 114+3 and if so where at in the RPM range would you think I would see the impacts of HP and/or Torque?
I know that the 114 LSA will have smoother idle with proper tuning.

Larger LSA will move power up the RPM band and flatten the curve in general terms. Advancing the cam will move the power down the RPM curve. There are many variables so these are just generalities. You should also look at the seat duration, 0.050 timing and 0.200 if available.

Additional generalities in addition to what vettenuts said...
Compared to the 114, the 112 will have more idle/drivability issues (especially on an automatic) but will sound meaner and give a little more HP on the top. The 114 will give a little more torque down low.

With a good SD tune my 230-236 112 lsa XE-R cam is very drivable and idles like a 224 cam. The 112 will give you better mid-range puch - all other things being equal - and peak at a lower RPM than a 114 - again all things being equal.
Love it, Idels at 850, never dies, very drivable and very mean sounding. Like they said you will loose some down low but 3000rpm up its mean
