-If its an automatic, cam #1 will probably outrun cam #2.
-Cam #2 will out dyno cam #1.
-Cam #1 has 21* of overlap at .050 and that is pretty close.
-Cam #2 has 37* of overlap and that is too much.
-Cam #1 is too conservative in timing events to make big power.
-Cam #2 is not what you think it is. Isky is not very accurate.
-Cam #1 will be harder on valve train that cam #2.

If these 2 cams were my "only" choices, cam #1 with 1.7/1.7 rockers installed on a 113 IC is what I'd do. This assumes the cam is close to what it is suppose to be. Neither of these cams are ideal. #1 is closer than #2 IMHO. But to answer this question:
can i do better? In short, Yes.

I hope this was what you were looking for!

Good Luck!

thanks a bunch! i visited your website and took a look at your build sheet. i will contact you soon! what kind of lead time is involved once you have a completed build sheet? also how do you accept payment.

Right now, 7-10 days.

From build sheet to cam hinges on you and payment. I prefer a money order or a check. From the time I recieve payment is when the meter (lol) starts running.
