Default Cam/Head question

found those two packages, think the price is real good,

patriot ls6 heads,59cc, rollers rocker kit,

it comes with the coice of two cam's

one is

226/226 .585"/.585" 112 LSA

and the other one is

232/230 .580"/.580" 110 LSA

with lt's and Y pipe+loudmouth, and a FAST 90/90 combo what hp's could i expect?

the smaller cam should be a good street cam, but i am interested in the bigger one, is there a big low-mid loss with it? is it to big for a serius street car that i would like to use "semi-dayle"

thanks!

The 232 cam has lazier lobes Vs the 226. I would vote for the 226, or the same 232 but with a XE-R lobed specs.
Reverse cams make good power with high compression motors and have very nice trq curves.
If it were me I would make the cam like this:
232/230, .595/.592 111+0 LSA (111 ICL)

That will give you excellent mid trq and the ability to carry peak nicely without dipping to quickly.

this comes as a set, with the choise of these to cams,

i got a m6 car, and i am goin to install a 4.10 diff,

how many hp's would u think that would give me?

what i want is a 430-450rwhp,

would that be able with the smaller cam?

is there a big loss low-mid with the bigger cam?

The 232 has more overlap so it will produce more power (11* Vs 2*)
seeing that you have 410s the loss is negligeable.
From what you just said, seems like that is the cam you would prefer
