My first cam was a TR224 on a 114. I really liked that cam, but wanted more. Now I have th 228R and still want a little more.

Its all about the tune of the cr after the cam installation that will make you love or hate the car.

Whichever cam you choose go the next size up.Once you put it in get it tuned and drive it about a month later you'll wish you went bigger. Happens all the time
By the way i went with Texas Speed Torquer II cam with 112 LSA. I'm happy with it and it's very streetable,just make sure you get a good tuner.
