Default tsp 228r vs. spdc 228/228 vs. possible custom grinded 228

stock 01 ws6 with lid/filter, full exhaust longtubes, etc..
6 speed stock gears.

I am looking to accomplish these:
1.powerband I am looking for around 1600-6000
2.a pretty flat tq curve from 3500 - 6000
3. hp peaking roughly 6000
4. very choppy idle

tsp 228r: 228/228 .588/.588, 112 lsa +2 I think it has
spdc 228: 228/228 .600/.600, 113 lsa not sure on advance
custom 228/228 .600/.600, 111 lsa +2 I guess would be optimal

using dual springs regardless, hardened pushrods 7.4 most likely.

not sure what lobes are better and dont even know what to use for the possible custom one, with the very vague differences might as well just get a tsp 228r but wanted alittle more choppier idle I think.

I have had the 228R for about 2 weeks now. I did have the Torquer V3.

The 228R is a very nice streetable cam. The idle is not was I would call "choppy". The Torquer V3 fit that bill.

According to my cam card, the 228R has no advance ground into it.

thanks for any help.
I recommend a set of gears, preferably 4:10's with any of those cams. Changing lsa will only move the powerband to the left or right a few hundred rpm, 111 will have the choppiest idle. 113 will be quite a bit smoother with noticeable chop. Call comp cams for advice on lobe selection and other particulars you are interested in for your combo. The companies that you have listed get there cams from them anyway so you might as well get it from the horses mouth. Good Luck bud.
