The PT4000 is $120 more, but it shouldn't hit quite has hard at the start, although it will still completely blow the tires off. FWIW, I've been driving mine for the past few weeks in the snow and slop, cause my beater crapped out.
Also, where in Michigan?? I'm in the Sault.

a 228/228 falls into the mid size range as far as cams go. Here is a profile off texas speeds website
The Texas Speed 228/228 .588/.588 Camshaft With Your Choice of Lobe Seperation.
1600-6300 RPM Power Band; This is an excellent performance camshaft with a smooth idle! Custom tuning for automatic cars required
This camshaft typically gains approximately 40rwhp!
LS1's powerband in general is 3500-6000 so clearly this cam makes decent mid and upper range power. Anywhere in the 3500-4400 range will work and work well. The higher you go with the stall the better the NA performance will be.
So a Yank PT4400 would out perform a Yank SS3600 at the track. But the PT4400 would not be N20 friendly (in case you ever decided to strap on a 100 shot) and it would't have a lot of street manners (very loose feeling stall with decreased city mpg).
I would stick with a 3600-4000 size if N20 or street manners are any concern. Otherwise a PT4200 or PT4400 would definately be a good choice.
Good luck.

What you need to do is find out where the cam makes power. Smaller cams tend to make the power down low, mid size cam cams tend to make better mid range power while big cams are usually all about the high rpm's.

I bought my 3400 on a bit of a whim and took 6 months to have it installed while I decided on whether I really wanted it. Needless to say I was pretty pissed at myself for waiting so long.
