Default Help me pick a cam

Ok, I have a 99 TA WS6 with an A4. Here are current Mods:

ASP Pulley
BG Ram Air
Texas Speed and Performance Lid
Holley Filter
MAC Headers w/offroad y
Dual/Dual w/ cutout
Stock MAF ends.
LS6 intake
No emmisions
VIG 3600
4.10 gears

I currently have a TR 224 cam. I have sitting here at the house a MMS 230 cam. The specs are 230/230 581/581 114 lsa..... I was offered a trade for a TR 230/224 cam....

Which do you think would benefit my setup the most? I am running ET Streets and have LS1 Edit, so the traction and tuning is not an issue......

Please help me decide..........

I say go with the TR230, if not that then the 230/230. Ive seen plenty of people happy with the TR 230 but not too many with the 230/230. I would run it if I had a good set of heads, but oother than that I would run the TR230. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

So you are saying with "Stock" heads do not use the 230/230? What makes you say this.. Everyone I have talked to says I should use the 230/230 not the TR 230.....
