Default Best Cam for a 4.8

OK, so heres my plan. Forget FI for now because as some of you have informed me, doing it right is out of my price range for the time being. i plan on ordering a set of longtubes, ory, intake, cam, stall, and HP tuners.
done some research on the right cam, and i just want to hear from others that have or have had a short cab with the 4.8, that are daily drivers, that tow and drag.

Texas Speed & Performance 220 or Thunder Racing 220. get it with a 112 LSA so it'll talk to you.

had the tsp 220 in my old 4.8 deff recomend the 112 lsa, the 114 was a little to quiet but still talked a little. not gunna be able to do much of a stall though without sacrificing towing ability. i had a TB stall with 4.10's it did ok off the line but from a 10-15 roll was insane!
