I know this may be a little off topic, but wouldn't you neet a better 60' if you left the line at peak TQ vs. max RPM?? 
I've always wondered about that. Thanks. I've left @ almost every RPM imaginable and the higher I leave the better the 60' is. I've tried every RPM and this works best in regards to 60 and ET. Try it, it feels good. Cam only = 12.1's @ 113 with a 3750 Raceweight and a 1.70 60' on a set of 5 year old 26x11.50x16 ET streets (with over 200) passes on em!

Im pretty happy with the cam for its size , very well rounded but as some have said you will need a tune , I had misfire codes and idleing issues. My car ran a 12.18 , 12.19 at 111mph 1.70 60ft with 2800 stall, ls1 intake I was having some horsepower loss issues from something in my car at the time (Dynoed after track and HP was down to 327) and I still have the same problem with the new mods I did over the winter.
1. Graph 2800 stall ls1 intake 216/220 cam Pic
2. After track day with problems Dyno Pic
3. After new manley valvesprings , Hardened pushrods , LS6 intake , TCI 3800 stall , Trans pak , Pic
I do like the cam it has alittle lope to it and its a great performer, Ijust have to get my problems fixed . By the way my baseline before cam was 311/333 on the same dyno and my car ran 12.40s at 110 mph with 273 gears so my car has always dynoed low.
I need to get it to the track soon and see what it runs, I know that the TCI 3800 is taken away some of the RWHP so we will have to see what times it puts down before I start swearing again. LOL
If i were in your position , I would do the 224/224 . Great cam and proven performer, you have 410 in your car I dont think you will feel like you lose RWT.
