Minimal if any. you second cam should produce more low end torque

243 heads do not flow much above a valve lift of .590, so no need to have valve lift of .600 with 243 heads

Not that much difference. If you've already got #2, use it.

I agree with everything said so far. Those cams are going to act very similar, it would be pretty hard to feel a difference between the two.

I just took out a 228/228 588/588 112lsa. It was very streetable with a good sound, and the car was a blast to drive.

I made 411 rwhp/398 tq...
