Default Anyone running a reverse split cam in a daily driven A4???

Anyone had any experience with a reverse-split cam in a A4? The ones that caught my eye were:

228/224 .588"/.581" 112 LSA
227/224 .569"/.563" 114 LSA

Car has to be able to pass the sniffer test too. I'm starting to think that my TR220/220 isn't aggressive enough...what could I expect to pick up with one of these cams (above the cam I have now). Reason why I was looking at the reverse split is because one of these days I would like to get the 5.3L Stage II heads...which from what I hear favor the reverse split due to the flow characteristics of the exhaust side...whatcha' think???

Gaww dang...that's a big cam. I saw on your webpage that you used to have a 226/226/554-114 cam...how did you like it? What would the hp difference be between a 112 and 114 LSA? Better tq down low?
