Building a 357 engine, need help/advice

Having a 357 built, would like to put a set of vortec heads. Need advice from fellow TGO members as to what roller cam /vortec heads to install. Should I use a holley 670tbi or GM's 454tbi? Any other advice you can give would be appreciated.

If you go with TBI regardless of the size, it will limit you on your cam selection, if I remember correctly TBI does not like big cams, it's difficult to tune them, which will be the next step. There are several people on this board with mild-built 350 TBI engines. I don't know enough about them to make any recomendations than I already have.
