FLYER what kind of a lope would i expect from that setup (212/218 522/529 114Lsa)
or can i get that in a 112 for more lope?
It is on a 114 LSA and I don't see too much of a lope from this cam at all unless you lower the idle down some. To get mine to idle right so it doesn't stumble when put into gear I had to raise the idle to 850. If anyone gets much lope out of this cam then they have it idleing at stock, or it is on a lower LSA.

So-- I wouldn't see much of a gain with these? Or even a sound change?

I'm sure you'd gain about 10hp without losing any bottomend.I think I'd consider Yella Terras instead of SLPs.You'd probably need a smaller pulley on the Magnacharger to maintain your boost.What size pulley are you running?

I am running a 2.90 right now. I lost about 1.5lbs of boost throught the cam install. Right now I see 7.5lbs at 4000 and a little over 8 at 6000. No KR at all.
Good tune thanks again to edit!

No changing rockers is not necessary,but the Yella Terras are shaft mounted for more accurate timing and have a rollerized tip for less friction.They also come come in 1.7[stock] or 1.8 ratios.

so the 114LSa will not give me any lope considering that i have the 1.85 comp rockers?
then i guess i will be going with the 112lsa.
can i get a 212/218 .522/.529 112Lsa ?

Well you will get a lope but it is not going to be a monster no vacuum making pig! Even with this cam at idle you wont see much about 10 inches of vac so your brakes DO operate a little differently.

If I turn my idle down to stock it sounds really lopey! But to get it to not surge in gear I turned it up to 850. Plus with a 112 I would of lost a ton of boost so I went with the 114, more economical.

Yella terras huh? How much for a set? I want something like 1.85 but am not sure.
