with the stock converter i wouldnt get to wild and honestly i'd get a new TC before i got a cam.

i wouldnt go higher then a 224 on stock covertor or else it'll take you forever to get into the powerband. no sense in limiting yourself on cam choices because you want to stay on the stock stall.

out of those i would go with the tr220 on the 114. the gears will help but i still think that the TC is the best mod for you. or consider a stealth cam or 03 ls6 cam.

but honestly i wouldnt get a small cam, then down the road get a TC (which i know you will ), and get other mods and then be limited on your potential because you went with a small cam and later want a bigger one.

your sig doesnt list a "lid/filter". if you dont have one i'd get that before a cam. build up your intake and exhaust setup before going the cam route.
