Which cam is better?????

Im trying to decipher which reverse split is better for my setup:

i have headers in a lid, and i understand LS1 heads flow better on the exhaust side than the intake, and i plan on keeping my LS1 heads(stock). So with this setup im going w/ a reverse split. Any opinions are very much appreciated!

Thanks
Travis

Here are the flow numbers for a stock LS1 head

I wouldn't say that the exhaust flowed better than the intake by looking at these flow numbers.

Good 230 durations cams are TR230 and MTI X1
Both proven to make good power.
If you want something tamer, but still street agressive then a custom
224/220, 581/.6xx 113+0 LSA
