Yes you can. Out of those two I would pick the TR220, although you really should go bigger IMO.

I ran the TR220 untuned for almost a year. It made 380rwhp with headers and stock heads, later after adding PP 5.3 stage II heads and an ASP pulley, it made 416rwhp and 392rwtq STILL ON THE STOCK TUNE! The little cam is easy on springs and makes great power!

See specs below on my 220/220 smog grind. If you are interested in a similar cam, drop me an email and I will direct you to the guy that did mine.

I think the TR220 cam would do you very well. You may think it is not a very aggressive cam, but look at the stock cam your pulling out of there:

Something around 200/208 .495"/.500" 117 LSA

A 220/220 .553"/.553" 114 LSA is a hell of a big increase when you look at the two side by side!
