Default Input please 224/228 cam

Anyone have a 224/228 cam in LS3? If so any numbers (supporting mods), drivability? I am looking at a crane cam that is 224/228 114lsa that will work with my high lift rockers (1.85). I have heads that are milled 0.015" and a thinner head gasket so my ptv is cut 0.025". Looking for any experience with a 224/228 cam in ls3. Looking to get a cam without excessive lift or aggressive ramps so I can reuse my 1.85 roller rockers. The crane came is recommended with 1.8 rockers and I would end up with right at 0.600" lift. Please give input on this cam. Looking for low/mid range power, good drivability, slight lope.

Bump

no one with exeperience with a 224/228 cam? Considering both a 114lsa and 112lsa. I like some lope but don't want bucking or bad surging.
