Negative a tigher lsa angle such as a 112 will make more peak hp vs one with a wider lsa 116, which will have a broader range.. Thats why guys that run tight lsa usually have a higher stall....

lower LSA will produce more peak power. Overlap = power. But the more overlap also the more difficult to tune. I'd go with 220/220 112 LSA 108 ICL for your setup

Lower/tighter (as in smaller numbered) LSA will produce more of HP peak in a narrower band. This works well for close ratio trans/high (numerical) geared rearend setups since they can remain in the "sweet spot" better. They tend to idle harsher since more dynamic compression is bleed off (later intake valve closing) at idle (thus the need for tuning and converters).

Higher/wider (as in larger numbered) LSA will produce a flatter HP curve. This works well for wider trans/lower geared rearends that have to operate over a wider band. They tend to idle better since the intake valve closes earlier and keeps dynamic compression higher.
