Default Cam help

I know, I searched and searched but I still cant find the answers Im looking for. So here we go. I currently have a comp 224/581-114 cam. I like it but now that I have a stall i want a bigger cam with a rougher Idle. So im gonna go with a new cam on a 112 before I tune the car. But I cant decide which cam to go with. SO I need yall's opinion on which cam would be better. A TSP 231/237 or a FM13 or FM14. Thanks guys for any input.

TSP 231/237 is top end specific. Lopes hard.
F13 and F14 will give you more under the curve than the above. F14 lopes harder than the F13.
G5X3 (mentioned) will lope hard and also provide great power under the curve.
TSP Torquer II is worth a look.

Well I was gonna run a G5x3, but My springs cant handle the lift. I have the comp 918's, and I believe they are rated up to .600 lift.

TSP231/237 is kind on springs due to less aggressive lobes. I ran it fine with 918s.
Call Futral and see if they're ok with an F14 goin' on there with 918s.
