Default my cam choice tr224 and setup

Well, after long long long long research. I decided to just stick with the tr224/224 114 LSA. I don't like choppy idle and would like to make it seem as if the car was stock, aka Sleeper. Right now my mods are in the sig, but it seems like I would need to buy some LT's first. I tried to find some graphs of the 114LSA but everyone has the 112.

I would go with the 112 lsa. Especially with the M6. You can have the care tuned to sound like stock. Mine is.

Yes, I will be at the June meet, I organized it!

7.4 PRs and 918 Springs are just fine, basically the TR package.

I can leave the stock pushrods in then right?

Also I was looking at the TSP 224/224 XE cam, is there really any difference between the TR ?

Nah, stock pushrods are a bad idea. Most of us go with good ol' comp 7.4s or 7.425s. Cheap insurance. I got mine for about $92 shipped brand new. Most people really like their 224 cams. I'd say any of them would be fine, comp, tsp, thunder....any. If you have full bolt-ons and a good tune with a M6 you might even see some high 390 or even 400rwhp. Have fun, its a very simple install!

Good choice. I went with the same cam & was gonna spray on it. It'll be fine. You'll be happy with the power it'll make & the way it makes it.
