Go with the cam you already have...You will notice ZERO difference between the two. The 240 duration cam is simply too big...It will cam VERY hard but it is going to actually slow your car down.

Do not go with the 114LSA cam. It will have no ***** down low. Wide LSA cams with lot of duration have late intake valve closing points and generally make poor dynamic compression. The 231/237 112LSA cam is the best choice of the cams you've mentioned. Personally, I'd still go a little smaller with an even tighter LSA, but that's me. You'd get more lope and more mid-range power and torque which is perfect for a high mileage motor that doesn't need to be spun to the moon.

yea what does the MS3's overlap?
between the two, 231/237 on a 112 and 237/242 ms3 113. Which would be better for a street/strip car. Not a daily driver, but does drive alot more on the street than the strip.
