My cam-uneducated mind says Cam 1 for power, but Cam 2 for stealth, though Cam 2 has more 3* more exhaust duration, which could skew a bit of power to Cam 2.
Otherwise, to me, the tighter LSA of Cam 1 should give it a bit more peak power, while on Cam 2, the wider LSA gives it more stealth. Overlap is close between the two.
Just going on what is given so far.
Just for conversations sake..... fingers crossed.....

The biggest issue is bench racing on lobes you dont know what they are. I actually expect the livernois to be a bit like the lunati lobes in the ls3 test a while back and be a bit more robust in the mid range and upper rpm even with a supposed 117.5 lsa. icl would be good to know also, but with a few diff timing sets you can change that. Build a bit more cyl pressure with either and have a good amount of tq.

I got similar answers on another forum I posted that question on. Some thought cam 1, some thought cam 2.
The intake centerline lift on cam 1 is 113. That spec isn't listed for cam 2

I'm fine spinning it to the factory redline. I just want a modest bump in power, no need to rev to the moon.

I kind of have that feeling as well, everybody kept recommending to get a cam speced by him so I figured I'd give it a shot. The +3 is interesting though.

Back to square 1 it seems. If the Pat G spec-ed cam would make LESS power than the Livernois 1C cam, but they're both "stealthy" wouldn't that make the 1C the better choice between the 2?
Would this make any more power than the Pat G (218/224 .598"/.598" 115 LSA +3) and the Livernois 1C? (218/229 .600"/.600" 117.5 LSA)?

This is a 217/225 .595"/.587" 114 LSA. At -7 degrees overlap, it should be fairly tame sounding, no?

At -7 degrees, a bit of lope; not much.
