the cam will have no markings on it to what grind it is. You should have recieved a printed sheet with the cam of what it its.

the 112LSA is suited to a manual and a 114 to an auto (due to better idlleing properties).

Sounds like somthing worth investigating.

on the back part of the cam, (oppsotie side towhere the timing chain sprocket screw goes in) it has two holes in it (im guessing one was used for maching from ford and the other from wade as the stock cam has one whole). and it has grafted into the metal the number 2 on the back with the number 1004 and 114. but if u say 114 is for an auto to idle better then it should haveh ad no worries in the manual correct?

The 114 will idle much better than the 112, so i guess that just makes your problem even more strange!

Dave what cam do I have again? Cos this thing idles like a bitch!

Same cam (1004), but 110 phase. The cam in question in this thread is 114 phase, so it should idle MUCH nicer...

Geez, that guy who sold it to you must be an arse! haha
Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with the cam itself. It was in my EF for a few months and went hard and I pulled 14.8 with it down the quarter. I had the same idle problems as everyone else after resetting but I just held me foot slightly on the accelerator at the lights and after a few days it sorted itself out.

When I originally ordered the cam from Wade I told them I had an EF manual so they must have sent me the wrong one - 114 vs 112. As stated though, it'll just give you a smoother idle so that shouldn't be a drama. It's funny that you noticed such a sound difference in yours because it made SFA difference in mine.

The only thing I can think is that maybe your timing got out when installing it ?? EFs have a crank angle sensor and are readjusted by the computer to suit. Maybe yours it out ? Although if its running ok now with the stock cam back in it's a little sus...
It's also funny that the lifters fit and yet the shims are a different size...

It sounds to me that either the cam timing was out or maybe the map sensor isn't 100% and it telling the ecu to put too much fuel in. With more fluctuation in vacuum with a bigger cam this can happen, even though it's okay with stock cam. The other possibility is that the preload on the lifters was too high, causing the valves to take too long to close.
