Default Looking For Cam Suggestions

Hi, I've got stock LS1 shortblock, not flycut, with Dart 225's. The heads I have had the casting nibs and flashing smoothed out but no real port enlargement. Right now I'm running a 224/227 114 with rhoads lifters, comp cam 1.75:1 rollers, LT's, !CAT's and a magnaflow. Its my daily but I'm willing to give up some idle quality for more power. I've read enough to know I should be in the 110 LSA range but I'm not shure how, if any, the rocker arms should affect my decision. Darts beehives are good for .625, I'd like to stay about .600 w/the rocker ratio for some extra cushion. If I have to get a spring upgrade I will. Thanks! BTW, the darts have 2.05/1.60 valves. Compression is 11.1 with .043 gaskets. I only put in 93 octane.

Spent some time today on the comp website looking at different lobes. Theres a 230 x 592 and a 228 x 588. I'm pretty shure my exhaust is better flowing than the intake. Would a 330/228 be a good choice here? With the 1.75 magnums I'll be at .6055/609 on the lift. Should I have this ground 109 or 110?
