Help me decide on one of these cams for my turbo car

I have a cam motions cam, supposedly it is 239/235 .624/.621 on a 114ls and a .010 lash setting.

I talked to Elgin cams, and they recomended a 250/242 .660/.630 and a 114+ LS on either are 110 or 108 centerline.

I like the cam motions numbers as the cam would be better for the daily driver aspect, but do you think the elgin cam would make alot more power, or about the same or what?

Thanks for any help

Is that a cam with less lift, or one with 25% of the lobes missing?
