Default need help with LY6 cam

I got a LY6, i am going to run the L76 intake and need opinions on what cam to run. its going to be a street car so i want it to be driveable but i would like to get close to 500hp at the flywheel, if possible, and have that nice cam rumble, i also want to keep the VVT. i called comp cams already and they were not alot of help. what do yall think about the Mast Motorsports stuff? can you use the thumper cams with VVT?

You can only run special VVT specific cams if your keeping the VVT and want it to function. Comp @ Mast i think are the only players as of now. get ready to spend some $$$$$ if keeping VVT

Its not so much the cam......what are you planning to run for a operating system? The Mast system? Or Hp tuners and factory Gen IV pcm? Its a swap car right, i dont remember the details. I know the Mast Motorsports PCM setup is nice, but its not cheap.
