Wow i always had the conclusion that a "110" LSA peaked higher in the rpms. and a "114" LSA had a flatter tq curve and peaked lower in the rpms..

i must be way off then...

I think stock48 proved that wrong with the baby 212 on a 112 lsa in a 6.0 goin 9.7s at 13x.

I cant wait to see what this one does for him.

These are not always true it all depends on the combination. Several times I've seen a a 106lsa out power a identical 110, ~114 lsa cam everywhere in the power range. I would normally recommend a 112 lsa for OP's application but he is at 6000' elv and wanted a lopy idle up there the 110 lsa will also help the turbo spool, and have more snap out of boost once tuned. This cam is large enough not to have a problem but if you get duration too small, with a tight lsa you can get into detonation problems.
