The LS9 and LS7 cams are nearly identical with about 1-1/2 degrees difference in the LSA.
The exhaust note changes a little due to the longer exhaust duration,but neither lopes at all.
You will lose some low end power due to late intake valve closing. Any additional power comes on very late.
How big a motor is this going in? Anything under a 6.0 is not a good candidate for this cam.

I run the Summit "ghost" cam and love it. It idles very smoothly and pulls hard to 7k rpm. I have an idle video posted on my IG.

It's a stock 5.3 L with 799 heads and that intake and the Ghost cam. I've never had it on the Dyno, but judging by fuel flow it's around 400hp at the crank.
