Default cam choice

have two lq4s. both have 243 heads. one has vic jr inake the other has gm performance single plain intake. prob. around a 500- 750 cfm carb. one will be used in a demolition derby car the other will be in a derby car and some drag racing if possible. need advice on what cam to use in each engine. just starting out with ls builds. don't want to spend a butt load of money. just best option for low rpm torque with out sacrificing alot of top end hp. my choices are gm asa cam, stock 98-99 cam, edelbrock 2215 and 2216 cam. or if some one has a better choice. drag car is a 81 malibu only worried about running 12's maybe 11's if possible.
