Id be looking at lobe design, overlap and DCR to really get an idea of the differences between the two.

I would go with the 226, since you have a 6spd I think it'll be the way to go!!

Bet it'll be fun ripping through them gears with that cam!

Probably very little difference between the two as long as the lobe design/ramp design is the same. Go 226 /226 because..................

You would probably not notice much if any difference beween two. Straight lobe cams work real well if you have a good flowing exhaust. I think it is a good pick.
