Default Cam questions

I just purchased a TSP Custom 224R Cam: 224/224, .581"/.581", 114 LSA with pushrods and double springs. I bought that cam because everyone scared me with the emissions talk. I have since found out that around here they do a OBDII and a visual and that is it. My question is if TSP will let me trade my cam in for a "larger" cam should I or should I stick with what I have? The cams I am looking at are TSP Custom 228R Cam: 228/228, .588"/.588", 112 LSA and a TSP Custom 231/231 Cam: 231/231, .595"/.595", 112 LSA.
My mods are SLP Lid, GMS MAF, HPP3(soon to be dyno tuned), Pacesetters with ORY, Yank with a low stall(not sure of the stall but I think it is around 2800-3000), shift kit. I think that is it.
What would you guys do in this situation?

Plug into the diagnostic port and search for codes. That's it.

On second thought, the 224 is a great cam. It'll do great with stageII heads also.

The more I think about it, I think I will keep the cam that I have. It's just that I haven't ever had a car with a cam that had a lope to it. I thought it would be cool. I think the 231/231 cam would be too much for my car. I don't have enough motor for that cam. What do you think the differences would be in RWHP for the 224/224 to the 228/228?

realistically not much, and mostly in peak power anyway. jason had the overlay of a TR224, TR227, and TR230 and there was only a 10rwhp difference between the 224 and the 230 and about 5rwtq difference. the 227 fell in the middle.
