G5x3 people
What lsa do you have and how do you like it? I was debating on 112. I was told the 112 is still streetable but just a little more rowdy than the 114. Also you don't have to fly cut the pistons unless you put aftermarket heads on, right?

G5X3 on a 114 here. Extremely streetable. As cam only, made 35 rwhp over stock Z06 cam. As far as fly cutting, my understanding is that measurements need to be made, especially with the 112 lsa cam. I just had AFR 205 heads installed and there was no fly cutting needed. With the exception of some shake from a "cold" start, it is virtually impossible (well, you can "hear" the cam) to tell my car is a H/C application making over 450 rwhp. Both Chris and Marc (from ECS..where all the work was done) are perplexed by the docile driving nature of this car. 
Of course, once you put your foot into it, things change very fast.

Little note: Big cams don't like low RPM's. I have a slight buck at 1500 rpms. This car is no fun in heavy stop and go traffic!!

AP Engineering said they don't fly cut and don't recommend it. Thats were I was planning on having it installed.
