Well, if you went to the trouble to get that cam in the first place, I'de say that a tr224 cam would be your best bet.

Howz about a 216/220? I hear they're torquey.

It seems to me that you can just step up on both sides.
220/224
224/230
230/234
ect ect ect.....

What kind of emissions do you have out there?
