Way too big imo. I run near that duration in my 400. I would have gone cam 6 but you dont give much info on the cams to really determine things.

Re: Which of these cams would you choose?

I would have went with Cam 3: 230/244 112. Lots of SC intake air and N2O air needs lots of exhaust duration to dump the waste.

Re: Which of these cams would you choose?

I'm running the following cam on a 413" sbc with P1SC and AFR210s

224/236 @ 0.050 276/288 adv .535/.554 lift 113lsa 108ctr

(which I assume is cam6 in your list)

Good idle, doesn't sound like crap, low end power off boost, etc.
