of these 2 cams, what would you pick

Of these 2 cams what one would you pick and why?

First Cam: Combination Motorsports custom grind
227/233 duration, .560"/.569", 111lsa (lift numbers with 1.6rrs)
Same cam on 1.5rrs would have this for lift 525/533
Second Cam: Comp Cams XE Grind
230 / 236, .510 / .520 112 LSA (Lift Numbers with 1.5rrs)
Same cam on 1.6rrs would have this for lift 544/555



Im doing heads and cam durring this winter and want to know what of these 2 cams you would pick, I dont wanna rev the **** outta my motor (thus why you dont see the bigger cc306 cam on this list) These 2 cams look like the better choices over the 306 and other cams

Any and all input welcome

TIA - Mike

The first one simply without going to into explaination.

Low duration
High Lift
Tight LSA

Not enough info. RPM range desired? How is the car used? Gearing/transmission? What associated parts will be used? Displacement and static CR? Etc.

Mike,
don't you have to pass emissions? Or did you get around it?

after talking with the people over at Combo motor sports ive decided on the first cam with 112 LSA to bring the RPM range down a little bit (stock bottom end) And ion i do have emissions, but ill worry about that when the time comes i think or find a relative that will register my car in a different town.

Car the cam is going in
93 Z28 6 Speed with 3.73 gears
RPM Range wanted is probly no more then 6200 RPM
Cam will have a SWEET custom tune (right ion? ) heh
CAI Headers catback all that fun stuff done
Will be running #30 lb accel injectors and probly a 58 mm TB
I think lloyd elliot is doing my heads because he seems to be way to cheap to pass up from what im finding, If the moneys there might go with bigger valves. probly 2.00 intake and 1.56 exhast
Will be using 1.6rrs with Comp R lifters and whatever springs and pushrods needed.
