Well, what is your rwhp goal?

228/224 is a nice cam. Should make about 410-420 rwhp with S2 heads, all bolt-ons, etc.

220/220 will idle the best!

220/226 should be a very nice cam for N2O!

Out of the ones you have listed the 220/226 561/570 114 would be my choice.

Actually I have a lot of the bolt on's headers and stock heads... The cam I am getting is very much like that..

Should idle good, and make descent power....
