Yeah, that is the dilemma. I will probably end up swapping it because it will bug me that I left power on the table over laziness .

No Im going to default back to the smaller cam. I found out why they sent wrong cam. the cam you have is the A and A supercharger cam for LS3 the one I ordered is the default entry level cam for the LS1-2 or thats what I was told.
I like the cam from Cam motion but the difference is so small its not worth the hassle of exchanging Cams etc.. here is the Cam motion specs

Grind # XA220/350-XA230/350-17+4
Duration at .050 - 220/230
Lift with 1.7 - .595/.595
Lobe separation 117
Intake center line 113

That will get you -9.0 degrees of overlap

That should idle fairly smooth and have good street manners along with good intake manifold vacuum.

I agree 100% but
Im already set up on the exchange for the BTR cam, doesnt look like there is enough diff to swap, probably not 4 HP diff in the two... what you think?

Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift:220
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift:230
Duration at 050 inch Lift:220 int./230 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.581 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.591 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.581 int./0.591 exh.
Lobe Separation (degrees):116

You may actually decrease power going to a blower cam. It depends what cam you have now and what cam you're going to. Just because you're going to a "blower" cam from an N/A cam doesn't necessarily mean you're going to pick up power.
