New Cam Install, Lsa Advice
Hi All
I am having MTI in Houston install a C2 cam in my C-6, 6-speed,headers,high flow cats, vararam intake, underdrive crank pulley, Borla touring. They are doing before and after numbers. The install will include pushrods and springs and tune. The cam numbers are 224/224 .581/.581. The question is, they gave me a choice of 112 or 114 lsa. They said the 112 would be a little more lumpy no info as to the performance difference. Any opinions?
Thanks all

wider LSA moves the power band up and lowers the low to mid power in favor of a bigger peak number.
With a small 224 cam there will hardly be a difference. The dcr will be slightly higher so guys looking to leave the heads alone will be better off opting for the 112 even with an auto.
