No way you can get cams for $50 bucks.

224/224 is very popular. But man, really are we talking Dollars here? Blancks cost more than $50.

$50 doesn't sound possible at all, unless they are damaged- and I don't think Crane would sell damaged goods at any cost.

The 224 LSA112 is good for 380 hp at the wheels with bolt ons and stock heads. the 228 to 231 range will make a bit more power but there's always a downside. The rpm range is moved way up.

If you have an auto, 3.73 is ideal for any cam. For an A4 4.10 gears aren't needed because of the ratios in the transmission.

You can see the cam in my sig. At idle it has a burble to it, but not a real lope. Even a small duration cam cut on a 112 LSA will have lope.
