Question Cam Question Please Help!!

Okay here's the deal, my best friend decided to go get me a cam for Christmas. He talked with my wife, and she was the one to actually order it and she told combination motorsports all the correct specs. Combination ordered it from Comp, and told them all the correct specs. But when the cam arrived today and they gave it to me as a late gift the specs were off. I am going for a sleeper cam and decided to go with the same style cam that colonel has.
224/220 .581/.581 116lsa
well the cam came
220/224 .581/.581 116lsa
My question is, is it going to make that much of a difference in idle quality and power since it was ground as a standard split instead of reverse? I talked with combination and they said no and that it is up to me on whether or not to send it back or not. Well needless to say I am extremely indecisive (sp?) on this one. Please help!!! I have the time to wait to install it to, so that is no issue.

Unless you plan on spraying the car with a big shot, send it back and get the 224/220 cam. Oh, and get some headers.

Send it back, N/A the 220/224 will not make close to the power the 224/220 will.

I agree with the above statement.

a reverse split will make more power NA. I suggest a traditional split for nitrous use.
If you are all motor, go with a reverse split.

I'm thinking I will probably go ahead and take the cam back and have combination send it back to comp and see if comp can get it right this time.
