GM847 or Custom Grind?

Like it says.... I have seen such impressive numbers with the 847 it makes me want to go with it. I have full bolt ons, hotcam, and locally ported heads with 2.02 and 1.55 valves in them. They flow very nicely so I know it needs a bigger cam now... So I know this is a debatable issue but I would like some imput because I have the money and its time to go bigger!!!

You make more power and have better drivability with a custom grind.

The two names that come to mind are Bret Bauer and Joe Overton. Bret's name on the forums is SStrokerAce and i dont know Joe's off the top of my head but maybe someone else does.
