Either. Seat-of-the-pants won't even be able to tell the difference.

If it was mine Id run the btr. It should have a little better low end and get the turbo in boost quicker.

My 5.3 with a t6 s475 with a 1.10ar and this random btr ls3 cam ($200 second hand buy) feels killer.

225/238 .612"/.585" 113+3

Good and peppy out of boost and lights quick.

If you watch Richard Holdener, you’ll see similar cams will give similar results. Wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference i bet with the proper converter and gearing.

You can get into valve events and optimize everything... but you won’t leave that much power on the table if you don’t (unless you match something drastically wrong)

Richards YouTube videos are great. Definitely worth the time to watch them.
