www.ls1howto.com has a guide for a cam install. Good site to visit. I have read time and again that the LPE GT2-3 came is good for FI. That is what I will probably switch to later down the road.

That Comp Cam should be great for your setup.

I've got the gt2-3. Nice cam, but I'm sure the one your getting will be a bit better.
