will loose a good bit of your low end tq. Lately the horsepower wars are in
full effect. Shops are building head/cam and header combo's that make all
upper mid-range to top end power. The only way to increase and to keep
your low`end and still have nice top end is to keep the cam in the 216 to 224 intake duration. Any higher you start to trade low end and move your
power to top end. And in my opinion any cam with 232 degrees duration
in a stock cube motor and is still called a torquer cam is misleading. Cause you have to run 4.10's in a A4 and higher in M6 cars. Don't worry about making peak power, worry about power across the whole rpm band and don't let people force u into running a big cam just cause they are. Look in my sig. that little 216/220 was great from idle to 6,200 rpm. But all depends how high u wanna spin the motor and what gears u wanna run or what gears and stall u wanna run in a A4.

Honestly...Any cam with anything over 224 intake duration that's in a stock cube motor you will start to move your tq into a higher rpm range and u

With that said, since the OP has stated he doesn't want too much lope a 224 on 114 lsa would be a good choice.
Question to the OP, what are you reasons for not wanting much lope?? Just personal preference or are you worried it will be hard to tune or drive?

Typically with off the shelf cams the bigger the cam the more you will need to spin the motor to get it into the powerband. Look at a few Futral Motorsports cams. They seem to make great overall power and performance is great but keep you in the RPM range you are looking for. Thats what I am doing. But you can also get someone to custom grind you a cam that will pull hard across the rpm range and still have a smoother idle.

Dude that is so oversimplifying it!!! Duration isn't the only determining factor in the power range of your cam. LSA plays a significant role among other things.

6,300rpm. Duration does give you and idea where your power range still start, LSA will tell you how broad of a range to get and idle quality. I've been through the TR224 cam thing and its a great cam on a 114lsa. It has alittle surge under 1,500rpm but nothing bad. My 216/220 cam only made about 8rwhp less than my TR224 and it was a better street, stealth cam, and it puts out the numbers.
