Considering your bike I think the 570 may be better suited for a heavy by providing torq in the low end. 
What are you planning on setting the compression ratio at?
I just did installed Stage IIB heads from J Precision and a Woods 777 cam.  Compression set at about 10:1

The 777 needs a bit more to optimize.

   Man that makes so much sense it makes me abit mad that I did not get the proper counsel from my builder at the start of the engine build.  Don't get me wrong, I love my builder. He is awesome with the care of the bike and dealing with people. But I wish he tide it all together for me the way you describe your decision process when you get ready to do a build. Makes soooo much sense. He tells me the comp is at 10:1 so it looks like the 570 is the cam for me. Thank you very much. 

we`re VERY leary of "off the shelf" porting.if your builder/porter dosnt ask the questions about expectations & riding style,ide find another builder/porter."one fits all" porting is a crap shoot at best,this goes for any port work on aftermaket heads too
