Default 233/239 or Magic Stick?

Hi I am trying to decide between these two cams(233/239 or Magic Stick) I am trying to sell my 224Xer cam that I never installed to go bigger.

My car is a 2002 Z28. It will have edelbrock Lts with dual 3in, ram powergrip HD, nine inch w/4.11 and detroit locker, 255/60/16 MT ET street radials, NX kit, harlan 2step, shiftlight, window switch, DS, and tuning. The car already has FTRA, lid, poly trans and TA bushing. Later I will do more suspension work.

I am just wondering if you guys could help me decide. The car wiull see about 3 to 4 thousand next year and it is not my daily driver. Also do you think I should upgrade my rod bolts? What will the shift points be w/each cam?
Thanks, Andy

Sounds like you're going for a stout track setup....I'd go with the MS3.
