LS9 cams im assuming work great with blowers, as the vette came with one, but no vvt ...im still trying to see what my best bet would be...mine is DD, so mpg does play a lil role factor as well.

-Getting rid of the VVT on my blower setup for the LS9 cam, or get a VVT cam for the blower?

What did you tell them you are looking for? What shift points, what stall converter do you have or do you want to run? Do you want it to lope or be stealthy? ETC, ETC.

Picking a cam is like ordering off a menu, if you can't find what you want then you have them make it.

I'd use the LS9 cam before using that. That cam would make a lot of boost quick and easy, but die on the top end. A Maggie is going to make boost quick and easy no matter the cam choice. That cam might work in a turbo app, but it's way off for a Maggie. Something like the cam 03sierra suggested would be a far better choice.
