496 Build and opinions welcomed

[chevysquid]

Building a 496 for my 71 Malibu to replace the 350 small block. Here's what I have so far:

Mark IV 454 2 bolt block
496 rotating assembly:
Scat 9000 4.25 crank
Scat 6.385 rods
Forged Wyseco +20cc pistons
Weiand Stealth Oval Port Intake Manifold
New oil pump, pickup, and stroker clearanced pan with trap door
Lunati retrofit hydraulic roller lifters

I planning using the Brodix Race Rite 270 oval port heads. Still saving some cash for that though. So, the obvious question. What cam? It will be a hydraulic roller. This is not a car that will spend any measurable time at the track, so having good vacuum and drivability is more important than ET's. I'm willing to leave a little on the table. I know I can get a custom cam from Straub, but I'd rater spend $300 for an off the shelf cam vs $600 for custom cam if I can. Not ruling it out, but I know there are guys out there who can give real life experience recommendations.

My car:
1971 Malibu, 3.55 gears in a 12 bolt, Turbo 350, I will get a torque converter with the stall required for the completed setup.

I have been looking at these two cams, what do you all think?
