Question Cam?

I'm looking to upgrade my LS1 with a cam-swap but I cant decide which is the better choice, either the GMPP GEN3 Hotcam or the stock LS6 cam. Just for reference the LS6 cam's specs are 204/218 duration @ .050 with 550" lift on the int&exh sides on a 117 lobe sep. The hotcam has 219/228 duration @ .050 with 525" lift on the int&xexh sides on a 112 lobe sep. Which is better?

out of the 2 cam you have listed, the gm hot cam is your best bet. i just installed my hot cam yesterday and im real happy with it, and from what ive heard the ls6 cam is just not worth the time it takes to install.

but get ready your going to get alot of cam choices threw your way on whats better and whats not. but in the end its up to you in what you want out of your car.

Out of the two the hot cam will be better, the LS6 cam just isn't worth the trouble.
