Default cam choice still in ?

I have the 4.85spd daily driver and i want a good cam for it, less conservative than most. In other words i want some lope too. I hear the tr220 and 224 on 112lsa are good. But ive also heard the 220 will make better power bc the 224 are mainly for larger bore apps. Can someone let me know which to go with? Ill be getting it in a month or so and i need to know which would be better. Please fill me in!

220 would work well with the 4.8 you will notice a pretty big decrease in power down low but it will scream up top.

when the fastest time list comes up, you should notice that the fastest time held for a N/A 4.8L was made with the 224...
that should answer your question about which one makes more power...
