Default G5 vs. X1 vs. TR230

Just like the topic says, im trying to decide between these three cams. The cam will be going in with S2 GTP heads (dual springs), all top notch valvetrain goodies, ported TB, Racetronix in-tank, Bellows, and LS6 Intake <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . I'm looking mainly for ET's and trap speeds, but I also want something that I'm not going to worry about drivability. I DO NOT want anything that I am going to have to fly cut pistons or anything that will give a problem with clearance issues. The car MAY also get some nitrous, but it is doubtful right now. What will be the main difference between these three? Which would go better with what I want?

It'd help to know how much the heads are milled.

Oops! Thought I posted my sig, but I realized I deleted it a few days ago. Anyway, sorry bout that. Car is an A4(Heavy duty rebuilt), Vig3200, full G2 suspension, HAL's, Grott 3/4" headers, 3"Y, cut-out, borla exhaust, stock 3.23 gears(may change to 3.73), and the other stuff I listed above will be going on it this winter. Currently undecided on whether to mill the heads or not, don't really know enough about it yet. Oh yeah, and with the drivability thing, I only mean I don't want the AC shutting off or the car dying, but this can be fixed with tuning right?

Tuning can fix your woes with idling for sure.. That is going to be a tough choice between those cams.. They are all great.. If you do decide to mill the heads then your choice will get smaller..
