Dont get me wrong, I LOVE my comps, but since you would have to modify some things in the shortblock, I just thought I would steer you another way. Seriously, I was just trying to steer you away from the 262's. You are going hardcore N/A, and you want more than a stage 1.
I am also a fan of comp. They have ALOT of experience. Theres nothing wrong with Comp. But if I had to do it again, I would go bigger Comps/ or VT 2's

Hey Zach (ZW99GT) is trying to talk me into going with VT stage 2 cams instead of comp cams. They look about the same price. Who has put them in and have you had to do any custom work? Do you like um?

I thought you sold your car to some chick in England, what happened to that? You can get VT cams directly from VT, I cant remember if I have seen them any where else. Just google vt engines, the website might even be vtengines.com.

VT > comp all the way. I have heard numerous people complain not only about the comps having PTV contact, but also not being ground to as tight of tolerances as the VTs. VT specialises in the modular engine family. Theres nothing wrong with a comp cam for a 5.0 or pushrod engine, but VT is simply more specialised in 4.6L performance.

RE: VT Cams. . . .who has um'?
Alright i talked with VT and it looks like the stage 2 will be perfect for my application and will make some serious serious power without having to flycut the pistons and they're the same price as comp cams but much more aggressive than then 262's[:'(]. So im gonna cancel the comp cams and go with VT's!
