Default TR 230/236 or 236/230 compared to 224/224 cam?????

Have been looking around at cams. And I know the Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA is a popular choice but many say it's quite a tame cam. so how about either of these (search didn't want to return any results ):

-Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - 230/236 .590/.598 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM

-Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - 236/230 .602/.575 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM

How would they compare to the 224? It would be for a bolt on stalled (3400) A4 with 3.73 12 bolt and stock heads.

I run a Comp 230-236 .595/.610 112 lsa XE-R no advance ground in custom cam. I set my rev limiter to 6600 and seldom hit it. I've got a speed density tune and it's very drivable and provides good power across the board and absolutely screams up top. I also run a ported LSX/LS2 TB.

Very similiar to my cam. I have a Comp 230/236 .598/.595 112 on XE-R lobes. I bought it used on here and I freakin love it. 120+mph traps in a near full weight car with stock heads.

Everyone always asks me if I have the Thunder 230/236. Im not sure if thats on XE-R lobes or not.
