there is no magic LSA number to make things all warm and fuzzy...
valve
overlap is the real factor, and overlap is a function of LSA and duration taken together.
but like I posted earlier, 112 degrees LSA, or smaller, is typically where most aggressive street/strip cams begin messing with your MAP and your manifold vacuum
114 could be considered a safer, but again- it also depends on how much duration at .050 you are running- a super long duration cam (240+ at .050) is probably still going to introduce overlap instability, regardless of how wide the LSA is...
But when it comes to the question of how well your cam might (or might not) co-exist with EFI, just let your eyes and ears be your guide-
If your cam makes your idle sound like a Harley Davidson, and if your engine shakes the whole car while it's idling, then it's a fair bet that tuning a speed density EFI system to work smoothly with that cam is going to take time, effort, and money.
It will be a little easier if you have a MAFS , but again- no current 8-stack system uses MAF
