Default Will I have to get my pistons b-fly cut with this cam?

If I choose one of these cams will I have to butterfly my pistons?
230/224 .575/.563 114 LSA
227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA
228/224 .588/.581 114 LSA
Which one will make the most power (without needing cutting) out of the three?
I have a A4, currently have shortie headers, I will have LT's, all bolt-on's, a 3000 stall Yank. Stock everything else. I am wanting to run my cats for emission.

Honestly they all don't look that different. I think they will all make about the same power. I would go with the first based on the lift. Not that much lift difference but the lesser lift would save you wear on the valve springs. my .02

i take it the first cam is a custom grind? its go the tr230 specs but the tr230 only comes in a 111lsa. like TAspeed said, they'll all make realitively same power.

and you wont need to flycut on any of those cams. the g5x3 and other cams are alot bigger then those and no fly cutting is required on them. providing there done on non-milled heads.
