Default LY6 max effort cam help.

I have an 84 Monte Carlo with a stock bottom end with katech rod bolts and the factory truck intake. The car gas long tube headers, 4k stall converter, 3.89 gears. Im looking for a max effort cam and think i have it narrowed down to 2 unless someone knows of another one. Im wondering which you would choose and why.

Not much difference in these cams....seems the BT cam would have a bit more overlap (but only about 2*) which would ordinarily mean it'll have a stronger top end. That 2* ain't much but it could be worth maybe 5-10 HP, all on the top end.

The BT cam is $60 less as well.

Don't forget to give this cam some consideration.
