Default Which cam to use?

I currently have 3 different cams.
F13 230/232 .595/.595 112 LSA
F15 236/239 .600/.610 111 LSA
Custom 243/250 .617/.629 114 LSA

Which one would I see the most gains with my setup in my sig? I have the comp 918 springs I'm gonna go with the Patriot Golds if I decide to go with the custon cam.

There's nothing wrong with it but I've got a forged bottom end now and I'm thinkin about givin her a little shot like a 150-200 too. Just wanted to get the most out of it without buying another cam.

I'm mostly street driving her so traction is a huge problem already. I guess I'd like the upper rpm better.

Those are some extreme cams; ever thought about something smaller like a 228? Doesn't a huge cam give you no low end hp and tq? I just bought a 228 from TSP should I maybe get something bigger?

I like the first two much better than the last one. I vote for the F15 actually.

Do you think that the TSP 228/228 .588 .588 LSA 112 isn't enough?

I want to get the same cam. It should perform very good as a street cam. It depends on your goals.
