stay withthe 112, it will bring your power band down a litle so you don't have to rev so high.

Uh. Not really too different. One is 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA. The other is 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA.

Just want to see if theres a better all around cam that will work in my 5.3. That will of course make some more power.

ALSO, will valve springs not last me very long at these lift numbers? What springs should I use anyway??

Ah,

I thought you were comparing the TR224 and F8L's 226.
