A 212/218 .562/.568 lift on a 114LSA is a great cam,not radical but works very well.having longtube headers will make it run much better,especially with a cam.
You will also need a good custom tune to go with the cam swap and to get all you can out of it.you can always PM us for the custom tuning if you want and at a great price if you need help PM us
