Installing intake, G5x3 Kit and LG Longtubes, what LSA should I go with??

Wicked Weasel

personally I like the 114LSA. The car still has the feel of a cam in it, but your teeth are not rattling out of your mouth.

112 if you like the hot rod lope!

I actually like that! My last vette had to be put in neutral so it would idle at a stop light.

Go with the 112 if you like the very aggressive hot rod choppy idle sound and 114 is you want to be a little more stealth!!

That right there is awesome.

Wicked Weasel

then the 112 would be your answer.

Of course he could always do 111 or 110 if he REALLY wanted to feel it.

Wicked Weasel

he better not have anything in his bladder then

Here's my G5-X2 on a 114 (click the pic to view the movie)



I went 114 because I still almost daily drive the car

How much advance was ground into the cam? +2?

It's +4

My cam is on a 110 and it doesnt rattle my teeth out at all. Car has a nice shake to it at idle. Go for the 112.

I would have gone with the 112, but I have read so many stories even some from Lou/Louis that with the 112 you'd have to flycut the pistons. Which is why I went with the 114 instead. Plus your power band comes on quicker

NeverT00Fast

Actually, power comes on quicker when you go tighter on the LSA.

I did a head/cam swap last Nov. I put in a 228/232 .588/.595 111+1. It had a nice sounding idle but really shook the car hard at idle. I left it in for about a month. I took it out and put in a 224/228 .581/.588 114+2. The new cam drives so much better than the 1st one did. It still shakes a little bit, but nothing like the 1st one did. You can still tell that there is a cam in the car with the new cam. I can drive the new cam down around 1000 rpm in any gear without surging or bucking. I don't feel like I lost a lot of hp. I am more than willing to give up a few hp for a better driving car.

From Anthony at LG:

Personally unless the cars are side by side, I can't tell the difference in idle. The 112 will make it's peak power numbers 500 rpm lower in the power band but they both should make the same power.

There is no reason you should have to worry about putting anything in neutral at a light as long as the car is tuned right and it has the correct stall (if it's an auto car).

If you don't mind the idle....a 112 would make it's peak more in the streetable rpm range.
