Help picking a cam?

I have bought two cams and i am having a hard time picking which one to go with. I have a 2021 FBO/e85 A10 and would benefit most from top end power more than low end torque. Any help explaining the cam specs and which one i would be better off with?

Cam 1: 219/231 .639/.639 113 LSA +4
Cam 2: 231/235 .645/.635 116 LSA

Thank you all in advance

The second one is going to lope harder but it won't be too bad. If your wanting more top end you're going to have to ditch the Lt2 and move to the MSD. What are your goals? You don't want to go too big and it be a dog in the lower rpm band

I was under impression that the lower the LSA the harder it will lope. But yes i have heard that MSD is much better for top end but i could not pass up an intake $1000 less that rivals its power. And goals are just a cruiser with some spirited highway driving. My buddies have vettes and mustangs and we like to get out and roll race every now and then.

Overlap is what determines cam chop or lope not LSA alone. The cam with more positive overlap will chop/lope more.

Cam 1 has -1 degree overlap

Cam 2 has 1 degree of overlap

What is the fuel lobe on each of these? How did you select them?

1 is the GPI SS1 and 2 is the TSP VVT2. Both are safe for stock converter is my reason for choosing them. Factory fuel lobe.

This is what I would choose for a oem intake, compression, and converter car. The Titan 3 might squeak by on the stock converter. Could always call them and ask.

King, the titan3 is what’s going on my car with ported heads to match it up with my 3800 stall. I’m glad there is someone that likes this cam since nobody has used it or has reviews . I figured Id try something else with less lift. It’s literally sitting In my garage with everything else ready to go . Waiting on new stock GM LT1 castings to get done up at Westcoast cylinder head.

Good choice imo. The only reason why you don't hear a lot of cam motion talk is because they don't advertise heavy...also my guess is they don't do big discounts with other shops like TSP does. They are imo some of the best lobes out there for valve train stability and longevity.
