Default Practically, would anyone notice a difference? CAM Q

I'm trying to be pragmatic and just finally buy a cam and move on - I miss driving my '92 Vert!!
Would I, or even a well trained LT1 aficionado, notice a difference between a Comp Cam 304 and the Lingenfelter 211?

The LPE will make more power up top and have a more noticable idle. It will give up a little bit of low end because of the 112 lobe seperation but it should still be very driveable, especially in an auto.

You still wouldn't notice a difference. Both of those are milder than the LT4 Hot Cam and I can tell you it drives like the stocker.

There woould be slight gains over the Comp cam. Both cams are very docile and very streetable. Emissions from either cam will not be an issue, the LPE cam will have a very slight lope to it, not very noticable at all. Should you choose this cam let me know I can perhaps get you a decent deal on one.
