Default Camshaft Choice

I wish to swap camshafts in my vehicle and have been looking at Lunati's Voodoo Series cams. Here are the two cams I have narrowed it down to. Which of the two would be closely matched with what I have for engine specs? Here are the specs for the Voodoo cams I'm looking at.

Adv Dur: 276/284
Dur@.050: 233/241
Lift: 504/525
RPM range: 2200-6400
LSA/ISL: 110/114

Adv Dur:284/292
Dur@.050: 241/249
Lift: 525/546
RPM range: 2,500-6500
LSA/ISL: 110/114

My engine specs
350 ci +.060
10.00:1 compression
TRW forged flat-top pistons with single trough relief (L-82 pistons)
Edelbrock RPM Heads (64cc)
Weiand Stealth Dual Plane manifold (Idle-6800 RPM)
Mighty Demon 750 cfm carb
HEI ignition
355 gears
Converter Stall Speed: 2,500 RPM
Cast crank

Which of the two cams are more closely matched with the engine internals I have? I am leaning toward the first. Looking for mid range power-up to 6500rpm (won't rev it that high but will if needed)

Suggestions are welcomed.

go to the website for your chosen cam maker and somewhere in there is a link to the tech help guys. fill out the form they have with the info they want and they will e-mail you back a suggested cam.

I suspect that your first choice would be better. Don't forget to get the new lifters with it. Good advice to contact the tech folks at Lunati. I've had a VooDoo for the past 2 years and really like it.

With a 2500 rpm converter, you will need to stick with the first one.
The bigger cam will be a bit soft down low without more stall.
