cam question

my buddy has a 350 with a 11:1 CR with 64cc ported heads with 1.94 valves
hes looking at these cams,
.533/.533 lift
.245/264 duration at .050 inch
.312/.322 advertised duration
or this one,
.570/.570 lift
.274/.274 duration at .050 inch
.320/.320 advertised duration
what do you guys think?

I'm gonna take a guess here and say that both of those are way over camming the combo. What heads are they, and what is the purpose of the car? Also what is the rest of the drivetrain include.

I would look for a more modern cam design with much less advertised duration.
