Default TR 227 or 230

So I've used the search option and talked to the guys at TR, and I can't decide on their 227 or 230 cam
A friend and I installed the 230 in his 98 TA M-6, and it is awsome.
With the 60e I plan on running a lower stall because of streetability. 3200-3400 for now. There are only 1/8 mile tracks in my area, so not much track time. Also, it's not a daily driver, nice weather only.
I have played with milder cams before and always end up dissapointed. The Trex is a bit too much for my current application (mostly street, unfortunatley)
Without saying, some tunning and a dynotune afterward.
Anyone running these cams with an auto?

if a little more top end is worth it to you then get the 230, if not then get the 227.

both are very streetable it really depends on how often your gonna open her up to higher rpms thatd be the only main reason. i have the 230 but on a 6speed love it and extremely streetable, its an everyday driver . just make sure you get a good tune

I have the TR227, it works well for me since its my daily driver. It drives pretty damn close to a 'stock-like' drive.

You can not beat a TR cam! I have never known one not to make good power.
