Most go with the 114 b/c it smooths out the drivability a little. 112 will have a little more midrange punch but be choppier idle.

Weekend driver, looking to shake the doors off. But didn't know if the 112 is hard to drive and tune?

I have a friend that gained 50hp off this cam with just the cam and a tune. His was the 112, sounds sick.

I have the G5X3/114. Excellent choice! Lots of lope! Guaranteed to turn heads! With stock heads I made 407 RWHP. I now have AFR 205/90/90 combo making 470 RWHP with 4:10 gears

Do the 112LSA as you will have a much slower chop to the exhaust and it will bring in power later in the band, whereas a 114 will be closer to the stock 116 LSA and not have near the chop of the 112. 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

A good choice for a rowdy cam with a reasonable powerband, yes...But will probably need to flycut the pistons to make room for the intake valves, as they will be opening mighty early unless you spec less than the usual 4° advance on it.

An X3 on a 110+2 (108 ICL) might be do-able.
