Better cam for this build?
#1. 220/234 .581/.598 115LSA (-5* overlap)
or
#2. 218/230 .595 .600 117LSA (-10* overlap)
#1. is paid for, #2 is for sale now.I'm wondering if#2 is worth the effort to buy and try to sell #1. I orginally tried to buy #2 but got beat to it...
Goal, little to no boost bleed off. Pull to 6500rpm max. Nice idle and street manners. Daily Driver cam.
Whatcha think?

I dont really see there being a butt-o-meter difference between the two. Since the first one is already paid for Id just run it. Both of them are running negative overlap, the first will have slightly less tq out of boost but it will still be quite a bit more than the 6.0 had, you will love the tq that comes with that 4" stroke it was fun.

Quick update:
Dial indicator shows .001 out of the hole. Deducting that from the LS9 compressed head gasket thickness of .051 and inputting .050 for gasket thickness gives me a 10.45:1 CR.
Also found this:
Static compression ratio of 10.4:1.
Effective stroke is 3.58 inches.
Your dynamic compression ratio is 9.35:1 .
Your dynamic cranking pressure is 194.30 PSI.
Your dynamic boost compression ratio, reflecting static c.r., cam timing, altitude, and boost of 10 PSI is 15.71 :1.
V/P (Volume to Pressure Index) is 213
I have no idea what all that means...
Waiting on the cam retainer plate bolts to arrive and my 2 bar MAP.
Also still need a balancer and order the blower and maybe some 8 rib pullies.
I'm gonna have to file my taxes just to pay off the extra 1,000 things you need to swap short blocks.

I looked at it. Way more lift than I need IMO. I'm running ported LSA heads on a boosted motor. I don't see why I need .64X/64X lift. Other than the lift the cam I have sitting on my desk is close:
LPE Stage 2 vs. my Comp cam
22x/23x .64x/.64x 116 LSA (unknown advance) LEP
220/234 .581/.598 115 LSA (No advance) Comp

reguardless of which cam you select, personally like the one you have
after reading about your powerplant its gonna have amazing torque and those freaking heads!! man those are just plain sick, the ls9 heads are probably if not the best oem casting heads out be far
id love to get a set of them but mine working well for what im doing!! good luck on the outcome not that you need it, deffinitely gonna be one bad hoe!!
