The 114 will give you power lower in the RPM band but fall off sooner. The 112 will not have as much Grunt down low as a factory cam, but after about 2200 watch out as Screamin Demon comes though all the way to 6800! Been there and done it on a 111 LSA 230
You've got the chop description right, but the description of where the power comes on with a 112 vs a 114 completely backwards.

The cam was great! Made great power and lots of lope on the 112lsa. Only reason for switching was because I went F/I. My current cam is nearly identical, but with a 115lsa...which still lopes hard. You won't be dissapointed!

Default Will the 114 sound good with a very good lope

Please post videos if you have them. I went to order it today and i was told that i have to do different headers to run the 112. So i guess i will do the 114 if it will sound awesome im the car.

Please give me your advise!

Thanks

I have the G5x3 114 in a 427 and it lopes a bit. Great power all over the band. I'm running 245cc heads too with 1 7/8 ARH headers. I get lots of thumbs up at lights and after some spirited acceleration.

if you want some shake with those 112 LSA cams, use solid motor mounts.

I have the 112.

I love the choppier idle. It sounds great. With a good tuner, it is very driveable.

I have the G5X2 on 112 in my 70. I have not tuned the car fully yet. I just have not really had the time to get it done. I should just take it to someone and get it tuned.

Here is a video of the car idling in the driveway with no tune.

Do a search on youtube for: c5zee .... I have videos on there with the g5x3 112 cam with 4 different exhaust combinations so you can get a good "feel" for it. (b&b bullets, stock ti, ghl bullet and corsa pacecar).

My 2003 z06, all stock motor (except cam/valve springs). LG "street" headers, callaway honker cold air. Made 437/405 at the tires with a 50lb twin disc clutch in the car.

I have done some highway roll races against other c5z ... even some with larger headers and higher duration camshafts and I have yet to have any pull on me. I am pretty happy with LG's stuff. Driveability is just fine for me.

Good luck!
