Default Help choose between two cams

I plan on doing a cam upgrade in the near future and have been shopping around. I have narrowed it down to a TSP 228r on 112lsa or a BTR stage2. I was looking for feedback on which might be best for me, I admit I don't know alot about cams. 03 Z06 w/68k miles. Currently have full exhaust Vararam and dyno tune making 392rwhp. I'm not looking for peak hp just a decent gain and a nice fairly choppy sound. I'm trying to avoid compromising driveability too much because it's just a weekend car that I like to get out and play around in and prob won't see any kind of track time. I also like to take it on road trips every now and then. I am doing the cam package either way I go ao I will be doing dual springs, pushrods, trunnions, titanium retainers, ls2 timing chain and maybe oil pump. What do you guys think? I have searched alot and watched alot of videos just wanted to get some direct info on this.

Have you considered the Streetsweeper HT at all? I was looking at the 228r as well, but I think I'm going with the Streetsweeper.

Hadn't really looked into it but I checked it out after seeing this. Seems about what I'm looking for and has alot of good reviews. It's a little more pricey but not terrible.
