Default Narrowed down to 4 cams Help

Well after researching on here about 3 hours a day for 2 months i have narrowed my choice to 2 futral cams and 2 thunder racing cams. Im looking for a cam that can keep good sreetability, pass emissions(aka wont flunk because it has so much lope they can recognize it), and make over 400rwhp. This is gonna be with a set of tea stage 2 5.7 heads. The cams are :

F4 (226/226)
F5 (224/228)
TR225 114lsa cam
TR224 114lsa cam

Which of these cams would make the most power? Im thinking the F4, and the tr225. I know these cams are aggressive but with the right springs, pushrods and a checkup every 2 years on the springs would one of these 2 be my best choice? Its a 99 m6 with bolt ons and suspension mods.

your best chance to pass emissions with those cam choices is the tr224 114.
with all bolt on's and heads i think you would see around 420rwhp.

There is very little difference in those cams. I've never seen a TR225. Pick who you would like to buy from and go from there. I've always had great service from TR and the TR224 is a proven cam, but FM seems to have a solid reputation and some pretty fast cars running around.
