Also check and read the cam sticky at the top of this forum. It will help you determine stuff you probably have not thought of otherwise.

I have the Comp 222/224 @112lsa - it's good, very good!
It gained me 40-50 rwhp right thru the rev range.
Otherwise, try the Comp 212/218 @ 115lsa .558/.563 - XR265HR, it makes good numbers also and on 115lsa would be smooth to drive.
Cheers,
Macca
