I honestly don't think you will gain much with any of those cams over what you already have. The T1/C1 cam might give you a little more midrange torque compared to your own cam, but that is just due to the 112 LSA. It will not feel like much changed though. The biggest possible change will be from the TR224 cam from what you have, it should make your peak HP higher in the rpm range. But, again I don't think you will gain a whole lot going from one aftermarket cam to another. Your cam has pretty good lift and the durations are not that bad as it is.

i figured someone would have bought that cam from you by now. seems like cams go like crazy around here. if you're doing your own install i'd like to help (or watch), i'm going to attempt my cam swap and i'd like to get some hands on first.

Ya. Keep your old cam. 218/224 has better low end below 3.5k

I'd do a different mod for more power.
I just switched back to my old 216/224.
