Default TSP 224/224 or 231/237 with 5.3 Head/Cam package?

I just bought the 5.3 PP head/ cam package texas speed & performance is offering for $1795

Which cam would you suggest 224/224 .583 112 or 231/237 .595 112
They say for all the extra rough idle and tuning issues, you only gain 6-8 rwhp.

Will the 231/237 cam have a weak low and mid range vs. the other?

NEED YOUR INPUT!!!!

Go big, you won't regret it. And as far as midrange, I can stomp it from 2500 rpm and fry my 275 nittos and I have the PP S2 ls6 heads and 59cc chambers(a wee bit less compression than you will have). 231/237 all the way.

Another vote for the big cam here. I love mine, pulls good thru the midrange too. Pretty choppy idle, but that makes me kinda horny.. so it's ok.

Well it sounds like I will go w/ the TSP231/237 cam. I do a lot of in-town racing (red light to red light, never 1/4 mile) so that is why I had a concern with the mid-range of the two cams.

Does the 224/224 .583 112 cam buck also on slow city driving?
And with this cam and the factory exhaust(when its time to sell the car) will the dealer notice during the trade-in?

I have 3 more days left to tell TSP which cam I want.
