Default How will the L33 respond to a larger cam? (compared to LM7)

I have done a lot of research on cams. Almost all of the info out there is from people with the LM7.
Can anyone tell me how the L33 may respond differently to a cam than the LM7?


Personally:
I am trying to get my future mods in order.
The Yank TT2600 looks like it may be my next move, so that leaves the door open for a lot of different cams.
I tow a couple sleds in the winter with my 4x4, so I'm not building a track toy. I just want to beat... everyone on the street!

Having higher compression it makes a little better power. I ran a 224/224 114* but you'd be a little lacking w/a 2600rpm converter. Power really comes on at 3700+

How much lift on that 224?
How high can you go on these motors?

I think they'll handle a bit more but i wouldn't want to push it much farther. I swapping out cam (and other things) and going FI.
