Which size cam to go with? Look inside

I am putting together a stock cube LS3 and going to be putting a set of ported TSP prc cnc ported LS3 heads on the motor. I have narrowed it down to 2 cams I want to go with and they are from EPS.

My car is not a track car by any means but it is not a DD either. I want an aggresive cam but not something too much on the wild side. It will see nitrous a good bit.

Here is the first cam:

Here is the bigger one:

I already talked to Geoff at EPS and he suggested the first one. I just wanted to see some opinions out there about these 2 cams.

I don't like either of them.

The second one is just entirely too big. (durations, overlap, ect...) for stock cubes.

Those cam sound real big for stock cubes. They seem big for a stroker.

Wow! Never expected these responses. I have always known Geoff to spec out some good cams. I think the second one might be too big also.

Why not just listen to Geoff? I have one of his cams in a 6.0L and it has great manners, no drive-ability issues and pulls great. No dyno or track numbers yet but it is a big improvement over the 222/238 I had in it last year. Still has great lowend power and up top it keeps pulling great, I shift at 6400 and it is very happy and has more to go.

PatrickG uses Geoff's proprietary lobes and he is also the brains behind the old TREX so he knows cams.

I think I am going to give Geoff a call again

Geoff also spec'd the old TR224 back when he was at Thunder Racing.
