I think either cam would give you a nice power gain over your present cam, but I would pick the Tooley cam. I wish I kept my first cam instead of getting a blower cam. I miss the lope.

Yes. My first cam was 228-232@112 .600 Crane, and I loved the sound.
Now I have a 224-234@116, and it hardly sounds cammed.
