228 cam better than 224 power wise

Yes...you would have to get pretty big (maybe in the 240s, maybe higher) before power might drop off.
However, drivability can go down hill much earlier. 224 is just about the max for passing emissions. and the overlap in the bigger cams insures a noticible idle and maybe awkward low speed driving.
It isn't all about power.

Yea, a little bit but not that much. Like David said, the 224 is about the max for emissions so if you have them then that's what I'd get. It's just according to how much power you're looking for and what you have to go along with the cam.

We installed a 228/228 .588/.588 camshaft in place of the 224/224 .581/.581 xer camshaft & picked up a additional 8rwhp with no other changes. Put that thing on a 114 lobe sep & it would run great & make good power. We have 228/228 camshaft in stock & on Holiday special for $359.99
