I have a friend in my town right now doing that exact setup except he's building a complete motor with that setup he should have it in within 2 weeks not sure haven't talked to him lately. I also have another friend with the 227/224 cam and it runs like a bat out of hell with his Absolute 5.7L Stage II heads. It sounds good to me. Let us know the results and what you went with.

The total engine airflow heads have similar flow characterics to the other popular vendors. I would go with a split with 4 more degrees on the exhaust side. Since you got the stage 1.5's the exhaust side flows slightly better than the 2's so you might be able to get away with a single pattern. Here is a few options:
220/224 .570/.580(xer) 112lsa 2 degrees of advance - best street
224/228 .580/.580(xer) 112lsa 2 degrees of advance - good all around cam
228/228 .580/.580(xer) 112lsa 2 degrees of advance - starting to lean toward more strip
230/234 .580/.590(xer) 112lsa 2 degrees of advance - more strip than street
