Looks to me that you are trying to stay with a very driveable cam with good mid-range power. I went from a 215/224 to a 224/288 and am very pleased with the results. The cam I am currently running is the AFR #6016. It is on a 114 so it idles decent and pulls to peak power right at 6,600 RPM.

I'd suggest either the 224/224 or 224/228 cam, on the 114 lsa.
Along with a spring upgrade at the same time.

The two cams are proven to be powerful with great street manners and driveablity!

I used the 224/224 myself for a year before going with a more aggressive head/cam combo.

I dont think the cam youve selected is really worth the effert to swap out.
...just my $0.02 though

small cams equal great drivability to many people think they need giant cams.

I don't have any right now but if you Go 2 YouTube n type in Fire98TA vs Bluebird00. You'll see how it sounds open throttle.

224/224 is definitely one of the most proven cams. but i would not go smaller than a 228/228 cam.

Not exactly what you had in mind. But I have a Futral F13 specs: 230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA. But also run a turbo on 6lbs. However the cam sounds great and driveability is nearly spot on. An occasional hiccup, but otherwise normal. It is also in the tune.
