Re: camshaft abilities?
I'd say neither are capable of 600hp in a NA engine even if you did have matching heads, intake etc.

Re: camshaft abilities?
Your limited information on those two cams tells very little about them.
Are they flat tappet? roller? hydraulic? solid?
What engine?
I will say this: Given only your parameters to design a cam within, whether solid or hydraulic roller, any engine builder worth his salt could make over 600 hp with either, without resorting to any exotic parts.
I'm making about 540 at a lowly 6400 rpm with a hydraulic cam far smaller than those. I could easily make more peak hp, but the stock PCM limits my shift points to 7100 rpm. I'm not the engine builder, but it's just a rebuilt stock-bottom LT1 350.
