Well since you don't really have to worry about emissions, I'd probably go with the 228.

An MS3 at 1000 rpm is going to sound a lot choppier than a stock or LS6 cam at 400 rpm, per se. There is still a huge difference and idle won't really change the overall loping sound that much.

I would recommend the TSP 228R. That would be a good daily driver cam and still give you a good kick when you want it.

Get the Patriot cam , you will love it ! It sounds way bigger than it is and has great driveability even on the factory tune, but really needs to be tuned to be safe and to get all the power out of it .
