yeah that 114 would idle like stock
Id go
047 or 062
I got the 062 and it does well
the 3000 verter didnt do anything except let me leave a little harder
off the line and lets me smoke the tires easier
that 114 is gonna idle alot smoother and move the powerband up a touch
but may be a good decision if you ever decide on FI
Id do the 062 again if I knew for sure I wasnt goin with a stall
but with a stall in the future the 055 or something like a tr224
would be better
keep in mind weight plays a factor in all this too
you have a rcsb 2wd so you can be a little more aggressive
in your decision compared to someone with a heavier

You might not think that you can increase throttle response and improve part throttle smoothness, but this cam/tuner combination does it. Absolutely no need for more converter and I have had lots of vehicles with high stall converters. A little more stall will only improve an all ready good launching combination. I will not argue that a narrower LSA would probably make a little more mid range power and you would feel the engine "coming on the cam"; but that wasn't what I wanted (been there done that). I wanted a total increase in performance everywhere with outstanding smoothness and crisp response and that is what I have!!

At 100RPM over stock there is no excessive creeping at idle, either. Hope this helps!
