Well, the thing is that I am building the car to be fast and powerful but I have no reason to break records. The car is a cruiser at the end of the day.

I could get a custom grind from Comp with their phase limiter, but the LS9 will make the car a dream to drive. Sure, I might give up some power...10-20 hp but what I will gain in driveability is worth the power loss. It will idle better and is only around $100 or so compared to many times that for the custom Comp grind. I don't mind giving up the AFM and VVT anyway. I have the similar blower that the LS9 has, so going with the cam is a no brainer to me.
