Default Cam questions

I'm trying to decide for my 01 SS(6spd) which cam I should go with for a street/strip car, mostly street. Choices are:
TR 224/224 .563/.563 112lsa OR TSP 224/224 .581/.581 112lsa

The car has all of the supporting bolt-ons i.e kooks LT's, 3" true duals with a 3" dr. Gas X(2.5" exiting X), lid, pullies, and all free mods. I'm looking for at least 390rwhp cam only.

I'd appereciate any information as this is a daily drivin car. Nitrous may also be added in the future(100 wet, TNT kit)

Unless you have heads I doubt you will see a diff from the extra lift. That is the reason i went with the TR224. If you are gonna get heads later on it may be worth a few more hp than the TR224. I asked around alot and saw no real proof of gain to have the added stress on my valve train. I hit 388.1 and 390.9 rwhp with bolt ons and that cam in my 6spd 2000 T/A.

Mine will be for sale shortly if you decide on the TR224. it may save you some money.
