cams have nothing to do with piston movement.....it has to do with valve movement, diff cam profiles will determine how much and how long and when a valve is depressed in relation to the pistons movement throughout the strokes...diff cams make diff power in diff rpm ranges.....

both of them are good for nitrous...nitrous will make any powerband have more power throughout....
stg 1 cams are more daily driver friendly...

honestly if you wanna make big NA power, go with a more aggressive cam grind and try to raise the redline to around 7.2k or so and get new valve springs and get a new light weight crank shaftt and have it rebalance to like 9k rpms.... then with nitrous your power range will be really igh up top at 7k rpms..
