Roller camshafts

I’m looking for a nice hydraulic roller cam for my 350. Number 6 heads. Stock build with w31 intake. The car is a 4 speed so don’t have to worry about stall. I’m looking for something that sounds nice and runs strong. Right now I’m looking at two cams. Any other options?
Lift: .560 / .555, Duration @ .050: 225 / 229, Centerline: 106
Option:2
Lift: .523 / .512, Duration @ .050: 219 / 229, Centerline: 106

What pistons? Have you priced out the roller lifters? $$$$$$

they’re stock small dish pistons and yeah I’m fully aware of the valve train cost. I just can’t risk another cam going flat on me

Exhaust manifolds or headers? And you’re giving the ICL not the LSA. Need the LSA although I can tell you the first one is from Howard’s correct?

Both are Howard’s cams and both are 110 lsa. Running headers also.

That W31 intake is your choke point so I’d do the 225/229@.050 if you have 9.5:1 or better comp.
