LSA = Lobe Separation Angle. This is the angle of seperation between the exhaust highest point and the intake highest point. The lower the angle, the more overlap. This will cause more lope, stinkier exhaust gasses, harder to tune and maybe have some drivability issues.
I think there was a post with an exahaust clip of a truck with a 216/220 on a 114 lsa. You might want to do a search on this so you can get an idea how it will sound.

i searched and i only found 1 with i think it is blackZ71 with his 212/216 cam.
so the 114 will be easies to tune? i heard that they have to do with how big your powerband is.

I read that article but it's not really the type of info i was lookin for. I want to know like where the power band is with the 216/220 114 lsa vs. the TR220 112 lsa and what each one will make power wise. I know its going to be different on every truck but a general range would be good.

the 216/220 is going to pull well past 6000rpm, probably about 6500. Also you will most likely want a stall with it. The tr220 may pull a little higher. 114 vs 112 LSA, the 114 will idle smoother, the 112 will shake the truck some.
I have a 212/216 114LSA and I am getting a stall this summer. It doesn't have to have it, but it will help out a lot.
