Default Cam change time, opinions wanted

Its an 08 Tahoe w/ the 5.3 flex fuel and 4l60E. I have a K&N cold air, 1 3/4" American Racing headers and catted y pipe, Corsa Sport exhaust,Comp Cams 54-412-11, Comp 29618 springs, Comp titanium retainers, fresh 243's w/ LS9 head gaskets, rocker trunnion upgrade, Comp 7.4 hardened pushrods, GM LS7 lifters, LS2 timing set, ARP headbolts, all GM gaskets, with a dynotune it made 318 to the rear tires.Trying to pick up some more thru a cam change and a lil bit more noticeable lope also. Dyno sheet also posted

Cam specs now
212/218
.522/.529
Lsa 114

Was looking at a BTR Stg 4 224/230 .553/.547 111+2
Goin w/ a Circle D conv. also

This will probably be all that I do to it before the turbo kit goes on. I daily drive it everywhere and still get 17-18 city and 21 hwy. I also haul a car/18ft trailer for goin to the track which brings mileage down to 15-16mpg. Let me know what you guys think on cam choice and if I forgot any info let me know

Getting that good of mileage, I'd be afraid to change anything. My nearly stock 4.8 doesn't get what you do with an SUV.

111 lsa is going to be a much more noticable lope..... I had the comp xr275hr 54-426-11 in my truck originally (granted i have a lq9 bored .030 over and rectangular port heads) and it had quite a bit of lope to it and made 345ish hp at the wheels..... But lacked bottom end, part of which may have at the time been the lack of stall speed and a trans i dont feel was what it was made out to be....

I figured not being that much bigger, hopefully mileage wouldnt suffer to much.
