Default LSA on a cam

the lope seperation angle.


What is the difference when you install a this cam 232/234 .595/.598 lsa 114 and the same cam with lsa 112??

what I know is that 112 will sound rough at idle but, what are the difference in performance?

The two cams will have a very similar TQ curve. The 112 cam will have a slightly better mid-range, will fall off a little more quickly after the peak HP point. The 114 cam will have a better idle and off-idle throttle response, peak TQ will not be quite as high, power will not die off quite as quickly after peak HP is reached.

The difference between the two cams is almost negible. Main difference is the lope at idle. On a larger cam, the 112 grind might have a bit more difficulty passing an emissions test.
