It would be helpful if you stated hydraulic or solid, and what the cam specs are so we don't have to dig that stuff up.

Keep what you have, those 2 cams are so close, not much difference .I doubt you could tell a difference driving it. it depends also on the LSA & ICL of the 2 cams, not all the specs have been provided as Russ has said.

Defining "6 pack replacements" and "stage 1 port job" could change things alot.... might want more cam then either listed. Dont know. Not enough info about engine or car itself.
